SPPG Faces Major Suspension from 2 June if Failing to Serve Minimum 300 3B Beneficiaries
Each Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG) kitchen must now serve a minimum of 300 beneficiaries from the 3B group—pregnant women, nursing mothers, and toddlers. The regulation was issued by the Deputy for Monitoring and Oversight (Tauwas) of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) on Monday (25 May 2026) through Circular No. 5 of 2026, concerning the Minimum Service Requirement for 3B Beneficiaries at SPPG under the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Programme.
The Tauwas Deputy issued the circular to ensure nutrition service coverage for the 3B group and improve consistency in SPPG implementation nationwide. Deputy Tauwas BGN, Lieutenant General (Retired) Dadang Hendrayuda, stated: “This circular is issued to guarantee nutrition service coverage for the 3B group and enhance the consistency of SPPG implementation across all regions.”
The circular also aims to clarify administrative sanctions for non-compliance with existing regulations. Currently, many SPPG kitchens still fail to meet the previous requirement of 500 beneficiaries from the 3B group. “During field inspections, we often find SPPG serving fewer than 100 3B beneficiaries,” Dadang said.
Under the new circular, each SPPG must serve at least 300 3B beneficiaries. Failure to meet this requirement will result in strict sanctions against the SPPG head and managing partners or foundations. SPPG heads will receive written warnings recorded in their performance records. Partners and foundations managing non-compliant SPPG will face major suspension penalties, meaning they will not receive the IDR 6 million daily incentive until compliance is proven.
For monitoring and reporting, SPPG heads must submit regular reports on 3B service achievements to the respective Regional Directorates under the Deputy Tauwas, in line with established technical guidelines. The Regional Directorates will then verify these reports, with confirmation results forming the basis for assessing compliance.
Dadang explained that sanctions follow BGN’s administrative procedures, including a defined period for clarification. “However, the requirement to serve a minimum of 300 3B beneficiaries must be implemented from 2 June 2026,” he added.
The MBG programme is a key government strategy to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable groups. To ensure its success, BGN has set minimum service standards for the 3B group to guarantee equitable access to nutrition, improve public health, and sustain the programme in line with national policy. The standard also aims to strengthen oversight and ensure optimal use of programme resources.
