Indonesia's National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has temporarily suspended operations of 1,256 Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG), or MBG kitchens, in eastern Indonesia starting April 1, 2026, due to lacking Sanitation Hygiene Certificates (SLHS) and Wastewater Treatment Installations (IPAL). Rudi Setiawan, Director of Monitoring and Supervision for Region III at BGN, stated the move ensures food safety and hygiene standards in the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program.
Indonesia's Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa revealed that the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program generates tax revenue of 3-5% from its Rp335 trillion budget. The tax is deducted directly from disbursed funds. He emphasized job creation and economic stability as the program's key contributions.
