The Indonesian National Nutrition Agency has suspended 1,999 free meal kitchens for failing to register for mandatory hygiene and sanitation certifications. Agency chief Sudaryono stated that compliance with these standards is non-negotiable to ensure food safety. The program, launched in January under President Prabowo Subianto, has faced multiple issues including corruption allegations, leadership changes, and food poisoning incidents. Over 50,000 people were affected by food poisoning linked to improper storage and delayed meal deliveries by September 1. The agency plans to investigate the suspended kitchens before determining further actions.
