The SPPG, or\nkitchen for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, has been closed.\n\u201cYes, it has been closed. Following the incident, we immediately closed\nit and evaluated everything from the layout to the business processes,\u201d\nsaid Dadang Hendrayudha, Deputy for Monitoring and Supervision at BGN\nRI, in Serang City, Banten, on Wednesday (22\/4\/2026). According to\nDadang, BGN requires SPPG to provide food samples daily for inspection.\nIf something occurs, the food will be tested and examined. \u201cThe most\nimportant thing is that samples are provided every day. If anything\nhappens, these samples are sent to the laboratory to check if it truly\noriginated from the served food or otherwise,\u201d he said. He also\ninstructed that SPPG must not cook before 2 a.m. This is to avoid\nserving stale menus. \u201cI have conveyed to the Governors and Local\nGovernments, especially the task forces, that no more kitchens should\ncook before 2 a.m. Everything starts from 2 a.m. and is divided into\nthree stages. The hope is that the processes are correct, the kitchens\nare proper, and everything is hygienic until it reaches the children,\u201d\nhe said. Previously, 49 students from MTs Al Inayah in Cilegon were\nrushed to community health centres suspected of food poisoning from the\nMBG programme. Police are investigating the incident. Cilegon Police\nChief AKBP Martua Raja Silitonga said the suspected food poisoning from\none of the SPPG kitchens in Cibeber occurred on Thursday (16\/4). Martua\nstated that his team had visited several health centres handling the\npoisoned students. \u201cWhen we checked from the information in the data\nfrom several health centres, there were approximately 49, I think 49\npeople,\u201d said Martua in Cilegon on Friday (17\/4). The symptoms suffered\nby the dozens of students varied, with some experiencing nausea and\nothers dizziness. According to police, the students are currently under\nmedical care. \u201cWhat we must inventory for each person is what their\nsymptoms are because there are symptoms of repeated nausea, dizziness,\nand other symptoms,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
