The DKI provincial government finds that the kitchen MBG does not drive the soup
Jakarta – DKI Jakarta Food, Maritime and Agriculture (DKPKP) said that the still poor implementation of standard industry procedures (soups) in the free nutritional program (MBG). After the case of alleged student poisoning in East Jakarta, DKPKP said it would prepare a new checklist to ensure that the soup was actually applied to all kitchen suppliers. The head of the DKI Jakarta KPKP office, Hasudungan Sidabalok, said his party focused only on the supervision of fresh food in the Nutrition Food Provider Center (SPPG). Monitoring of raw materials was performed regularly with laboratory sampling. “We have regularly monitored at the SPG place. From the checking of raw materials entering the kitchen, it is distributed to the school. Laboratory examinations are also performed on the spot, whether it is safe against microbes, formalin and freshness,” Hasudungan said in DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday (3/10/2025). Browse to continue with the content, but the results of monitoring in the field show that the soup made by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) does not fully run. “If we monitor, the soup does not appear to be performed properly. So we will make a checklist and coordination with the health office and the education office later,” he said. Hasudungan said one of the critical points was the process of spreading food that lasted too long after it was processed. “For distribution at room temperature at most 4 hours. Sometimes the distribution is not as fast because of the large amount of production, so it started to be somewhat unfavorable. That’s what we want to help,” he explained. As a follow -up step, the KPKP office also plans to provide additional training to SPG officials. “Before the MBG was executed, we trained the officers on hygienetizing and sanitation of processed animal food. But it may need further monitoring and consistency that the soup was actually exported,” he said. As for the fate of 21 students who previously experienced MBG poisoning in East Jakarta, Hasudungan emphasized that the government was in the education office and the health office. “It can be asked for the health office or the education office. If we are only focused on fresh food,” he said. (Call/IDN)
