25,925 MBG Kitchens Now Certified Compliant with Hygiene and Sanitation Standards

Progress in fulfilling Hygiene and Sanitation Compliance Certificates (SLHS) for Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) continues to show significant improvement. According to Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) data as of 15 April 2026, 13,576 SPPG have obtained SLHS. This number equates to 52.37% of the total 25,925 operational SPPG. Meanwhile, calculated from the number of SPPG that have applied, the achievement reaches 81.39% of 16,681 SPPG. Acting Coordinator of the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Programme Coordination Team, Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, stated that this achievement represents a major leap compared to the situation when she first took office. “Alhamdulillah, when I joined at the end of September 2025, there were only 39 SLHS. Now there are over 25,000,” she said in Jakarta on Thursday (16/4/2026). Nanik emphasised that her team has set acceleration targets so that all SPPG can meet hygiene and sanitation standards in the near future. “My target is for all SPPG to register by June and for all to have SLHS by August,” she asserted. To achieve this target, Nanik mentioned that her team is continuously pushing for cross-ministerial synergy to accelerate the application and issuance of SLHS in the regions. “As Acting Coordinator of the MBG Programme Coordination Team, I continue to urge the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Home Affairs to help speed up the SLHS process, but it must still adhere to the mandatory requirements that SPPG must fulfil,” she explained. On the other hand, Nanik also emphasised that she will take firm action against SPPG that have not demonstrated administrative compliance. She will instruct the Deputy for Monitoring and Supervision (Tauwas) to carry out suspensions or temporary halts to operations for SPPG that have not registered for SLHS. “For SPPG that have not registered for SLHS, we will instruct suspensions or temporary halts to operations,” she asserted. This step is taken as a form of the government’s commitment to maintaining food quality and safety in the implementation of the MBG Programme, while ensuring all SPPG meet the established standards.
