Inp.polri.go.id - Bandung. The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has suspended the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program after 301 students in Cipongkor, West Bandung, suffered suspected food poisoning on Monday. 

The suspension aims to allow a full evaluation of food safety standards by the Nutrition Service Unit (SPPG) kitchens..

Authorities revealed the SPPG in Cipongkor is a new facility that began cooking for large groups instead of gradually scaling operations. BGN also instructed stricter compliance with hygiene, equipment standards, and sourcing ingredients only from certified suppliers.

Medical teams and local authorities responded to the mass poisoning, treating students and parents affected by contaminated meals. The case has raised nationwide concerns over food safet
