BGN Temporarily Suspends 764 Nutrition Service Units Across Indonesia

The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) is still temporarily suspending operations of 764 Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) across Indonesia based on data as of 25 March 2026. This figure is part of the total accumulation of 1,528 SPPG nationwide that have had their operations suspended since January 2025 until March 2026.

Deputy Head of BGN for Public Communication and Investigation, Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, stated that the number of SPPG with suspended operations has decreased compared to two weeks ago. The decline occurred because the suspended SPPG have met the requirements and can resume operations.

“There has been a decrease compared to two weeks ago because they have registered for the Hygiene and Sanitation Fitness Certificate (SLHS),” Nanik said in a written statement on Wednesday, 25 March 2026.

Thus, the number of SPPG still under operational suspension status across Indonesia totals 764 SPPG, broken down as follows: Region I (Sumatra) 215 SPPG, Region II (Java) 491 SPPG, and Region III (Central and Eastern Indonesia) 58 SPPG.

Of the total 764, 72 SPPG were suspended due to prominent incidents such as students experiencing digestive disorders or poisoning. The breakdown of SPPG temporarily suspended due to poisoning cases is: Region I 17 SPPG, Region II 27 SPPG, and Region III 28 SPPG.

Meanwhile, the number of SPPG suspended for violating technical guidelines totals 692 units. The breakdown is: Region I with 198 SPPG, Region II with 464 SPPG, and Region III 30 SPPG.

According to Nanik, two weeks prior, the number of affected SPPG was higher, especially on Java island which reached more than 1,500 units. Additionally, Eastern Indonesia recorded 779 affected SPPG, while Western Indonesia had 492 SPPG.

Nanik explained that the suspension measures were primarily for SPPG that had not registered for SLHS. However, after enforcement actions, most have fulfilled this obligation.

“After we suspend, if the issue is because they haven’t registered for SLHS, now many have registered,” she said.

Nanik emphasised that this temporary suspension is to ensure that nutrition service standards are maintained, particularly regarding hygiene and sanitation aspects. Thus, Nanik stated, with increasing compliance to SLHS, it is hoped that SPPG operations can return to normal gradually.
