BGN is enforcing strict measures against procedural errors in Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPGs), such as improper food storage, by monitoring and suspending operations as needed to ensure quality and nutrition for schoolchildren. Suspended units can resume after improvements, underscoring the programme's role in enhancing human resources and local economies.",
