Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) records that 1,528 Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) across Indonesia are experiencing temporary operational suspensions until Wednesday (25/3/2026). This data is an accumulation from January 2025 to March 2026.

“There has been a decrease compared to two weeks ago because they have now registered for SLHS (Hygiene and Sanitation Fitness Certificate),” said Deputy Head of BGN for Public Communication and Investigation, Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, in Jakarta on Wednesday (25/3/2026).

As reported in a press release from the BGN’s Legal and Public Relations Bureau, Nanik explained that two weeks prior, the number of affected SPPG was higher, particularly on Java island, exceeding 1,500 units. Additionally, eastern Indonesia recorded 779 affected SPPG, while western Indonesia had 492.

Nanik explained that suspension measures are primarily taken for SPPG that have not yet registered for SLHS. However, following enforcement actions, most have now fulfilled this obligation.

“After we suspend them, if the issue is due to not having registered for SLHS, now many have registered,” she said.

BGN emphasises that this temporary suspension policy aims to ensure that nutritional service standards are maintained, particularly regarding hygiene and sanitation aspects. With increasing compliance to SLHS, it is hoped that SPPG operations can return to normal gradually.

This step is also part of national oversight to guarantee that the quality of nutritional services to the public remains safe and in accordance with government-set standards. The breakdown of SPPG operational suspensions falls into two categories: due to prominent incidents (KM) and non-prominent incidents.

  1. Closures due to prominent incidents (KM), such as digestive disturbances in beneficiaries:

Region I: 17 SPPG

Region II: 27 SPPG

Region III: 28 SPPG

Total: 72 SPPG

  1. Closures due to non-KM, for example, kitchen construction not in accordance with guidelines:

Region I: 198 SPPG

Region II: 464 SPPG

Region III: 30 SPPG

Total: 692 SPPG

Meanwhile, the number of SPPG still under operational suspension status is recorded as follows:

Region I: 215 SPPG

Region II: 491 SPPG

Region III: 58 SPPG

Total: 764 SPPG
