He said investigators would examine whether the incident involved negligence or deliberate action. The agency has already suspended the kitchen’s operations and removed its head, citing negligence or failure to follow standard operating procedures.

“If the kitchen does not properly implement the SOP, there is an element of intent, and it does not comply with the regulations set by BGN, then we can suspend it permanently,” Trenggono said. The affected pupils came from Manbaul Hikam Islamic Boarding School and 19 schools in the Kalitengah area of Tanggulangin, Sidoarjo regency.
