BGN Ensures Suspended SPPG Units Do Not Receive Incentives

The Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Dadan Hindayana, has assured that Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) subject to temporary operational suspension due to negligence by partners or foundations are not eligible to receive incentives. Such negligence includes conditions where kitchen facilities are unfit or fail to meet hygiene and sanitation standards. In such cases, incentives are withheld for the duration of the suspension. The same applies if food safety incidents are triggered by non-fresh raw materials or errors by partners as raw material suppliers. “This includes unhealthy practices such as supplier monopolies or mark-ups on raw material prices, which clearly disqualify them from incentives,” Dadan stated in Jakarta on Wednesday (29/4/2026). He emphasised that the primary principle for granting incentives is adherence to operational standards and guarantees of food safety. Therefore, when violations occur that impact service quality, the right to incentives is automatically suspended. “As long as the status is suspended due to negligence or failure to meet standards, no incentives are paid. Incentives are only given to SPPG operating normally and fulfilling all requirements,” Dadan said. According to Dadan, incentives will also not be provided if SPPG is permanently terminated or faces temporary suspension due to failure to meet standby readiness conditions. For example, during major renovations or significant repairs that prevent normal functioning. “If the SPPG cannot operate, whether due to major repairs or operational readiness issues, no incentives are paid during that period,” he added. With this clarification, BGN aims to ensure there is no misinterpretation in the field regarding the incentive mechanism. The policy also serves as a supervisory instrument to encourage partners and SPPG managers to maintain service quality, food safety, and operational governance in line with established standards.
