SPPG Patalan 2 Bantul Permanently Closed for Failing to Meet Food Safety Standards

YOGYAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has officially permanently shut down four Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG).

One of them is SPPG Patalan 2 in Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY).

Deputy for Monitoring and Supervision (Tauwas) at BGN, Ketut Sumedana, stated that these four SPPGs were permanently closed due to disciplinary issues in their operations.

Additionally, they failed to meet food safety standards.

The permanent closures took into account compliance records, incident history, and the SPPGs' ability to make fundamental improvements to their food safety systems.

The four SPPGs permanently closed are:

• SPPG Karo Berastagi Sempajaya in Karo Regency, North Sumatra, managed by the Manunggal Kartika Jaya Foundation, serving 2,997 beneficiaries, permanently closed under the Head of BGN Decree Number 63515 of 2026.

• SPPG Blora Tunjungan Sukorejo 2 in Blora Regency, Central Java, managed by the Tirto Mirah Asih Foundation, serving 2,614 beneficiaries, permanently closed under the Head of BGN Decree Number 63516 of 2026.

• SPPG Bantul Jetis Patalan 2 in Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, managed by the Panji Satria Nusantara Foundation, serving 2,281 beneficiaries, permanently closed under the Head of BGN Decree Number 63517 of 2026.

• SPPG Jayapura Depapre Waiya in Jayapura Regency, Papua, managed by the Kasih Iman Samuel Papua Foundation, serving 2,220 beneficiaries, permanently closed under the Head of BGN Decree Number 63519 of 2026.

Services Redirected to Nearest SPPG

The 10,112 beneficiaries from these four SPPGs will have their services redirected to the nearest SPPGs that already hold SLHS certification and have adequate capacity.

This ensures that beneficiaries' rights under the MBG program remain fulfilled.

Ketut emphasized that permanent closure is a measure taken only after improvement efforts fail to yield satisfactory results within a set timeframe.

“Permanent closure is the firm final step we take after the concerned SPPG shows no adequate commitment to improvement within the prescribed time limit, especially concerning fatal incidents impacting beneficiaries. The health and safety of children benefiting from the program are our top priority, and we will not compromise on food safety standards,” Ketut said on Thursday (24/9/2026) in a statement.

Permanently closing an SPPG can occur if it experiences more than one food safety incident, has been sanctioned with temporary operational suspension more than twice, cannot prove fundamental corrections to its food safety system, or does not receive eligibility recommendations from related agencies.

Ketut explained that safety aspects are vital to support smooth operations and to restore public trust in the MBG Program.

“We ensure that no beneficiary loses their rights to the MBG program as a result of this permanent closure. BGN will guarantee a smooth transition process while continuing to strengthen field supervision to prevent similar incidents from happening again,” he said.
