The Legislature asks the MBG PerPres to set the nutritional standard on the blastymite

Jakarta – Member of the House of Representatives Commission IX Nurhadi responded to the government’s plan to issue a presidential by -law (perpress) related to the free nutritious eating (MBG). Nurhadi asked the perpress to regulate MBG nutritional standards according to the kitchen production lyme. “Commission IX assesses that there are a number of important things that must be clearly regulated in this perpress. First, the issue of nutritional standards and food security,” Nurhadi told reporters on Saturday (4/10/2025). “Do not allow the MBG program to provide food only, but do not meet the nutritional needs that correspond to the age of the child and health standards set by the Ministry of Health,” he continued. Browse to continue the content, and according to him, perpress must also regulate the distribution and supervision mechanism. He considered it so that there was no more inequality or possible abuse of the budget in the field. Nurhadi said the empowerment of the region and the supplier partner should also be regulated. According to him, local governments and schools must be fully involved. “We also emphasize the importance of qualifications and powers of staff in the field. Each unit for the fulfillment of the kitchen or feeding services (SPPG) must have three main stakeholders who are trained in their fields, namely the head of the kitchen or the head of the SPG, accountant and nutritionist,” he explained. “Meanwhile, employees and kitchen volunteers whose average number of more than 40 people is equipped with standard soup training, so that the food production process runs according to the set safety and quality standards,” he continued. Then, from the operational side, he believes that it was necessary to limit the production capacity. According to him, it can maintain food quality. “For example, the number of recipients per kitchen is at a maximum of 2500 servings per day, unlike the previous one that has reached 3,000 to 4,000 servings. Food quality can therefore be more guaranteed,” he explained. Furthermore, he said, there must be a notice of the consumption period in each food. He emphasized that the perpress should not just be an administrative rule. “Each food package should also include a warning time, such as a food product that has the best or dilapidated limits, so that the receiving children get food in safe and suitable consumption,” he said. Previously, Deputy Minister Bambang Eko Suhariyanto said that President Prabowo Subianto would sign the presidential regulation on the management of the MBG’s implementation in the near future. PerPres is expected to be signed by Prabowo before October 5. ‘(PerPres) is actually submitted, it is submitted, and it has been submitted to the president. In the near future, the president will sign. Bambang said his party prepared the perpress concept before the MBG poisoning emerged on different regions. (AMW/IDN)
