BGN suspends Bogor Ranca Bungur Bantarjaya 2 SPPG unit for polluting mosque area
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Nutrition Agency has temporarily suspended or halted the Bogor Ranca Bungur Bantarjaya 2 Nutrition Fulfilment Service Unit effective 18 March 2026 for using a mosque area for food processing without permission, violating operational procedures, and disrupting public facilities.
“This is not merely a procedural violation, but also damages the sanctity and cleanliness of worship facilities that must be preserved. Such SPPG operations cannot be tolerated,” stated Deputy Head of BGN Nanik S. Deyang in her remarks in Jakarta on Friday.
This measure was taken in reference to the Head of BGN’s Decision Number 401.1 of 2025 on Technical Guidelines for the Management of the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG) for the 2026 Fiscal Year, as well as a special report from the Bogor Regency Regional Coordinator regarding alleged operational procedure violations.
“Our goal is clear: to maintain production quality, nutritional standards, and food safety. Any actions that could lower these standards must be addressed immediately,” said Nanik.
During the operational suspension period, the Ranca Bungur Bantarjaya 2 SPPG is required to improve its facilities and infrastructure and submit valid supporting documents to the Directorate of Regional Monitoring and Supervision II of BGN. Verification will be conducted to ensure that improvements meet standards before the operational status is lifted.
“The lifting of the suspension status can only occur after verification is complete and all standards are met. There is no compromise for ignored procedures,” she stated.
BGN emphasises that all SPPG must operate by prioritising cleanliness, food safety, and compliance with applicable regulations. Similar violations in the future will be firmly addressed in accordance with prevailing provisions.
“This is a form of our responsibility to the public and public facilities. Every violation, no matter how small, has clear consequences,” Nanik concluded.
