## Resource

Hundreds of students and teachers across Indonesia are falling ill from food poisoning linked to a government-backed free school meals program, sparking alarm as outbreaks hit multiple regions—with over 700 affected in Central Java and East Java alone. Officials blame repeated failures in food safety protocols, including improper storage, ingredient mishandling, and missed consumption deadlines. While no deaths have been reported, the scale of illness underscores systemic flaws in the program’s rollout, prompting authorities to suspend food distribution in some areas while investigations continue. This crisis threatens the credibility of a national initiative meant to nourish children—and highlights the urgent need for strict compliance with health standards.
