BGN Monitors Food Quality via Beneficiary Feedback to Prevent Poisoning Risks

Deputy Head of BGN, Sony Sonjaya, explained that monitoring is conducted via the Reviu Menu MBG app. The surveillance aims to prevent poor food quality and reduce poisoning risks.

“The app was developed to involve beneficiaries in monitoring MBG food quality. This ensures SPPG heads and all BGN partners take greater responsibility in maintaining the quality of distributed meals,” Sony told reporters on Monday (25 May 2026).

Sony added the system was designed to enhance awareness and vigilance among SPPG heads and BGN partners in safeguarding the quality of meals received by beneficiaries, enabling real-time quality checks through on-ground beneficiaries.

App users are the PICs (Point of Contact) for MBG beneficiary groups, namely school-appointed teachers and posyandu chiefs (Kaposyandu). Upon receiving MBG meal packages, they can immediately assess food quality using predefined parameters in the system.

Evaluation indicators include delivery timeliness, food aroma, taste, and menu variety. This system allows for swift and measurable quality assessments of MBG meals.

According to the Reviu Menu MBG dashboard data as of Saturday, 23 May 2026, 21:31 WIB, 1,707 reports were submitted from various regions. Of these, 1,705 reports (99.88%) indicated meals were fit for consumption, with only two reports deeming them unfit.

Additional data showed 97.95% delivery timeliness (1,672 reports confirmed meals arrived on time or early), while 35 reports noted delays.

In sensory quality aspects, 1,702 reports (99.71%) rated food aroma as acceptable. For food presentation, 1,697 reports (99.41%) stated meals met standards. Taste was deemed acceptable in 1,688 reports (98.89%), ensuring beneficiary satisfaction.
