Suspected MBG Food Poisoning in Sorong, Food Samples Sent for Laboratory Testing in Makassar

He explained that the temporary suspension of SPPG Malaimsimsa Klabulu's operations is stipulated in a letter from BGN addressed to the Head of the SPPG.

Ahmad said the suspension is part of an evaluation process to ensure all food safety protocols and MBG operational standards are met before the SPPG can resume activities.

The BGN letter states that the temporary suspension is a moderate sanction entailing the cessation of all operational rights for a maximum of 20 calendar days from the issuance of the letter.

During the suspension, the Head of SPPG along with foundation representatives are required to address all issues that may compromise food safety and beneficiary well-being.

"SPPGs under temporary suspension must fully comply with all recommended improvements before resuming operations," he emphasized.

Additionally, progress reports on these corrective measures must be submitted to the Head of SPPG every seven calendar days during the suspension period.

Ahmad underscored that the evaluation must be thorough and transparent, covering the entire food processing, storage, and distribution chain.

The task force will also continue to monitor the condition of beneficiaries experiencing digestive problems in collaboration with relevant parties.

He urged all SPPG managers in Southwest Papua to increase supervision of food safety standards to ensure the quality of meals distributed to beneficiaries remains guaranteed.
