Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi took steps to recover victims to the kitchen evaluation of a series of food poisoning cases in the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program in several areas.

Prasetyo also apologized for the accidental incident.

"On behalf of the government and representing the National Nutrition Agency, we apologize for the occurrence of several cases in a number of areas. It was not something that was expected, let alone intentional," he said, in a press conference in the Presidential Palace journalist room, Jakarta, Friday, which was confiscated by Antara.

He stated that the government was taking a series of efforts to respond to the incident.

To all affected beneficiaries, said Prasetyo, BGN in collaboration with local governments has provided quick and best handling.

The government immediately coordinated with the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) and local governments to conduct a thorough evaluation.

This is of course a note and evaluation material. Mitigation and improvement efforts are also being carried out so that this problem does not happen again," he said.

As a corrective measure, BGN is also trying to overcome this case by targeting "zero incident", one of which is by revamping from the kitchen of the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG).
