SITUBONDO - The Situbondo Regency Government, East Java, evaluated the implementation of the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program after two of the five Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) were temporarily suspended by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN).

The head of the Task Force for the Acceleration of the Implementation of the Situbondo Situbondo Fathor Rakhman admitted that he had held a coordination meeting and evaluation of the implementation of the MBG because it was considered important for improvement with the hope that in the future the nutrition fulfillment program would run as expected.

"There are several notes and inputs from various parties that we must improve, one of which is in the process of cooking MBG," he said in Situbondo, East Java, Friday, October 3.

According to Fathor, the implementation of MBG in public kitchens or SPPG must comply with the rules so that the results are maximized, including the recitation of food must also meet the standards of cleanliness and hygiene before being distributed to students.

MBG's public kitchen, he continued, requires adequate supporting facilities so that the food served remains hygienic and safe for students to consume.

The Fathor said that the coordination meeting also involved all MBG recipient schools ranging from kindergarten to high school equivalent.

"We have also received input from various parties including schools receiving Free Nutrition Food, and we will use all of that as evaluation material," he said.

Information compiled by Antara, the temporary closure of two public kitchens or SPPGs in Situbondo is suspected of the incident of hundreds of students at SMA Negeri 1 Panji experiencing poisoning after eating MBG.
