MAGELANG - Member of Commission IX of the House of Representatives, Vita Ervina, considers it necessary to audit all the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) kitchens nationwide to ensure that nutritious food is safe for children.
Vitamengatakan Program MBG diharapkan benar-benar mampu menghadirkan makanan sehat dan aman bagi anak-anak. Karena ituanggaran yang telah diarahkan untuk program tersebut diminta benar-benar difokuskan pada pemenuhan gizi anak, bukan hanya mengejar target kuantitas pelaksanaan.
He conveyed this after the socialization of the Healthy Living Community Movement (Germas) in Magelang Regency as a response to a number of incidents that drew attention to the management of the MBG Program kitchen.
The government is considered to need to conduct a sudden inspection (sidak) and a thorough audit of the eligibility and sanitation systems of the MBG provider's kitchen.
"The point is that we hope that this directed budget is really for free nutritious meals for children. The goal of this program is to provide healthy and safe food," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 7.
According to him, a national audit of SPPG kitchens needs to be carried out immediately so that similar incidents do not continue to occur. During the implementation of the MBG Program, it was judged that more was pursued on the quantity side, while the standardization of the kitchen had not been fully established and properly standardized.
"We continue to pursue quantity, but the standardization of the kitchen has not been really established and standardized to be used to present healthy and safe MBG," he said.
He emphasized that the health and food safety aspects must be the top priority in implementing the MBG Program. The Ministry of Health, he said, also has an important role in ensuring that all food provided to children meets health standards.
"From the Ministry of Health, of course, the word healthy is very important. We want the whole community to be healthy, especially children who receive the program to be really healthy. Therefore, the management of the food provided must also be healthy," he said.
