More than 1,700 Indonesian students and teachers sickened this week due to free meals programme
Authorities are investigating suspected contamination and food storage failures as the state meal program expands nationwide, with no deaths reported.
- More than 1,700 Indonesian students and teachers fell ill with food poisoning linked to the government’s free meals programme within one week, including 777 in Central Java and over 500 in East Java.
- The free meals programme, launched by President Prabowo Subianto to improve child nutrition, has faced ongoing issues such as food poisoning outbreaks, corruption allegations, leadership changes, and high costs.
- Improper food storage, late delivery, and poor food preparation have been cited as common causes for the outbreaks, with meals sometimes prepared hours before serving and reports of slimy or undercooked food contributing to illnesses.
- Public dissatisfaction with the programme is high, with a survey finding only one-third of Indonesians satisfied, partly due to the widespread food poisoning incidents.
