REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, CIMAHI \u2013 Erika Tika Sari, a teacher at SDN\nKarangmekar Mandiri 1, Cimahi City, West Java, lay weakly in bed at the\nEmergency Unit of Cibabat Hospital on Wednesday evening (25\/2\/2026). A\nneedle and an IV drip were attached to the back of her hand.<\/p>\n
She complained of symptoms of dizziness, nausea, and vomiting after\nconsuming the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) distributed from one of the\nNutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) in Cimahi City. Erika and\ndozens of students in several schools in the Cimahi Tengah sub-district,\nCimahi City, are suspected of suffering from food poisoning.<\/p>\n
Erika recounted that the MBG menu, which this time consisted of\nchicken onigiri, boiled eggs, dates, milk, and apples, was distributed\non Wednesday (25\/2\/2026) morning. Because she was not fasting, she ate\nit after school.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ate half of it after school, and I wasn\u2019t fasting. I only ate the\nonigiri, but I didn\u2019t finish it because it smelled burnt,\u201d said\nErika.<\/p>\n
However, at around 3:30 p.m., Erika felt nauseous, vomited, and felt\ndizzy after waking up. At first, she thought it was just a common cold.\n\u201cThen I saw a WhatsApp message saying that there was food poisoning\nafter eating the MBG. So, I must have been poisoned too. At first, I\njust thought it was a cold,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Erika was immediately taken to the Emergency Unit of Cibabat Hospital\nfor treatment. Her condition is now gradually improving. \u201cNow, thank\nGod, I\u2019m feeling better. Hopefully, I can go home soon. Earlier this\nafternoon, I felt very nauseous, and I kept wanting to vomit,\u201d said\nErika.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the head of SDN Cimahi Mandiri 4, Eka Nugrahawati,\nrevealed that she had noticed a bad smell from the food distributed to\nstudents and teachers. She admitted that she chose not to consume the\nMBG portion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed, when I smelled it, it already smelled bad. So, I didn\u2019t eat\nmy portion; I just kept it at school. I said, \u2018This smells bad,\u2019 so I\njust kept it. But it smelled sour since this morning, especially the\nonigiri,\u201d she said when met by reporters at Cibabat Hospital.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/teacher-recounts-irregularities-regarding-the-free-nutritious-meal-mbg-menu-suspected-of-causing-food-1772070279", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
