The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has confirmed that all political parties in Indonesia have a Free Nutrition Kitchen (MBG) or Nutrition Service Unit (SPPG). This revelation was made by BGN Deputy Head Nanik Sudaryati Deyang during an interview. Although the agency does not have official data on the matter, Nanik stated that she is aware of the existence of these kitchens in various areas.

Standards for Ownership

Nanik emphasized that anyone can own an SPPG, regardless of their background or affiliation, as long as they adhere to national standards for cleanliness, food safety, spatial planning, and raw material quality. She encouraged public figures to establish kitchens that meet these standards, ensuring the quality and safety of the food provided.

Importance of Nutrition

The existence of Free Nutrition Kitchens across all political parties highlights the importance of nutrition in Indonesia.
