        "summary": "The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has issued a circular to the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) advising against preparing noodle dishes unless they have a skilled chef proficient in techniques to prevent rapid spoilage, following a food poisoning incident affecting 147 children in East Jakarta. The incident, linked to a free nutritious meal kitchen, involved 33 children requiring hospitalisation, all of whom were discharged the next day, highlighting ongoing issues with wet noodle menus due to their high moisture content that fosters microbial growth. This underscores the need for stricter hygiene protocols in government-funded school feeding programmes to ensure child safety.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency\n(BGN), Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, stated that her agency has issued a\ncircular to the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) advising\nagainst cooking noodle menus without a competent chef to prevent food\npoisoning.<\/p>\n<p>This was conveyed by Nanik after visiting the kitchen for the Free\nNutritious Meals (MBG) in East Jakarta on Sunday (10\/5), which caused\n147 children to suffer digestive issues on Friday (8\/5) evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause noodles often cause digestive problems, we at the central\nBGN have actually issued a circular advising against cooking noodles if\nthere is no competent chef who fully masters the techniques for cooking\nnoodles to prevent them from spoiling quickly. We have also disseminated\nthis through regional heads and area coordinators,\u201d she said on the\nofficial Instagram accounts <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"nanik_deyang\">@nanik_deyang<\/span> and <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"sidakbgn\">@sidakbgn<\/span>, quoted from\nJakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Sunday night, I conducted a spot check at the kitchen processing\nMBG, which was the cause of 147 children experiencing digestive issues\nin East Jakarta, where 33 of them were briefly hospitalised, but all\nwere discharged on Monday (11\/5),\u201d Nanik said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was quite surprised to learn that noodles were used again in the\nmenu, because a month earlier in East Jakarta, a spaghetti menu also\ncaused stomach issues in several children, with some even hospitalised\nat the same facility,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that wet noodles or fresh yellow noodles are indeed\nvery prone to spoilage due to their high water content, making them an\nideal environment for microbial growth.<\/p>",
