        "summary": "Nine out of 424 operational kitchens for Indonesia's free nutritious meal programme (MBG) in the Yogyakarta Special Region lack the mandatory Sanitation Hygiene Eligibility Certificate (SLHS). The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has reinforced that the SLHS is an absolute requirement for operations, with a deadline of 10 August 2026. Local health authorities have reported the non-compliant kitchens and will coordinate with district governments to ensure certification is obtained.",
        "content": "<p>The issue of the Sanitation Hygiene Feasibility Certificate (SLHS)\ncontinues to overshadow the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals\n(MBG) programme, including in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). Of\nthe 424 kitchens or Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) that are\nalready operating, 415 are known to have obtained the SLHS.<\/p>\n<p>This means there are still 9 MBG kitchens operating without an SLHS,\neven though the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) previously set a\ndeadline for all SPPGs to resolve the SLHS issue by 10 August 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of today, 424 are operating but 415 have the SLHS. So there are\nindeed registered SPPGs that do not yet have the SLHS, but only a few\nSPPGs that are already operating without the SLHS. This is what the BGN\nhas reinforced. So, all must have the SLHS to be able to operate or be\noperational,\u201d said the Head of the DIY Health Office, Dr Gregorius Anung\nTrihadi, in an interview with journalists following an online\ncoordination meeting on the BGN programme at the Kepatihan Complex in\nYogyakarta on Thursday (13\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Anung said that the existence of the SLHS was one of the main points\nre-emphasised in the MBG coordination meeting with the Ministry of Home\nAffairs and the BGN, which took place online on Thursday (13\/8\/2026).\nThe meeting lasted approximately three hours and was attended by\nregional heads from across Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, the BGN stressed that the SLHS is an absolute\nrequirement for SPPGs to operate. Consequently, MBG kitchens that have\nnot met this requirement should not be able to carry out operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the directive from the Head of the BGN, yes, it is an\nabsolute requirement, 0 or 1. That is how it was put. Either you have it\nor you do not,\u201d said Anung.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team will coordinate to ensure that the SPPGs have the SLHS,\nbecause the SLHS is issued by the district\/city government. We have\nalready reported those that do not yet have the SLHS,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
