The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is making significant strides in ensuring food safety and hygiene, with over 13,500 nutrition service units (SPPG) now holding the crucial Sanitation Hygiene Certificate (SLHS). This achievement, representing 52.37% of all operational units, marks a dramatic improvement from just 39 units holding the certification when the current leadership took over in late September 2025.

Alhamdulillah, saat saya masuk akhir September 2025, SLHS baru 39 SPPG. Sekarang sudah 25 ribu lebih.

Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, the Executive Chairperson of the MBG Program Coordination Team, expressed satisfaction with this surge, noting that it also accounts for 81.39% of units that have applied for the certification. The program has set ambitious targets, aiming for all SPPGs to complete their applications by June and achieve full SLHS certification by August, demonstrating a strong commitment to accelerating the process.

Target saya, bulan Juni semua SPPG sudah mendaftar dan bulan Agustus seluruh SPPG sudah ber-SLHS.

— Nanik Sudaryati DeyangStating the program's accelerated timeline for achieving full certification.

To meet these goals, the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) is actively fostering inter-ministerial synergy to expedite the application and issuance of SLHS certificates across regions. Deyang is urging the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Home Affairs to assist in this acceleration, while emphasizing that all required standards must still be met by the SPPGs.

Saya sebagai Ketua Pelaksana Harian Tim Koordinasi Program MBG terus mendorong Kemenkes dan Kemendagri untuk membantu mempercepat proses SLHS, namun tetap harus mengacu pada persyaratan-persyaratan yang wajib dipenuhi oleh SPPG.

— Nanik Sudaryati DeyangExplaining the efforts to expedite the certification process through inter-ministerial cooperation.

Furthermore, decisive action will be taken against non-compliant units. Deyang stated that the Monitoring and Supervision Deputy (Tauwas) will be instructed to suspend or temporarily halt the operations of any SPPG that has not yet registered for SLHS certification. This firm stance underscores the program's dedication to upholding hygiene and sanitation standards for the benefit of all participants.

Untuk SPPG yang belum mendaftar SLHS, kami akan instruksikan dilakukan suspensi atau penghentian sementara operasional.

— Nanik Sudaryati DeyangAnnouncing strict measures against non-compliant service units.
