INFOKU, BLORA -Alleged food poisoning during the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program occurred again in Blora Regency, Thursday (1/10/2026).
This time, the allegation was experienced by a number of students of SDN 1 Tutup, Tunjungan District, who received food from the Tutup Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) under the auspices of the Pelita Gizi Makmur Foundation.
The principal of Tutup 1 Elementary School, Mustofa Kamal Riyanto, said the incident began around 9:30 a.m. WIB. At that time, a second-grade teacher reported that a student was experiencing a number of complaints, including stomach aches, dizziness, and vomiting.

"It first appeared around 9:30 a.m., when the second-grade teacher reported to me that someone had a stomach ache, dizziness, and vomiting. The teacher then treated the child with first aid using eucalyptus oil," said Kamal.
After the situation was discovered, the teacher then asked the student experiencing the complaint to be sent home. The school also immediately contacted the SPPG (School Supervisory Agency) to request assistance.
"I chatted with the head of SPPG via WhatsApp, but because he didn't reply immediately, we finally called him, asking him to take care of it immediately," he explained.
However, Kamal continued, the first people to visit the school were actually from the Closed School Education and Training Center (SPPG). He questioned why they didn't directly involve health workers.
"After arriving, I asked why the person who came was from the SPPG and not the health team. Then he called the community health center," he told the press.
Not long after, officers from the health center came to the school.

Police officers from the Sector Police and Koramil personnel also came to carry out handling and inspections.
A total of 13 students from grades 1 to 4 of SDN 1 Tutup were then examined.
The students are recipients of the MBG program, where food is distributed from the Pelita Gizi Makmur Tutup Foundation SPPG.
Meanwhile, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Blora Police, AKP Zaenul Arifin, visited SDN 1 Tutup to carry out the investigation process.
They secured the remaining vomit from the students in front of the classroom. Meanwhile, other vomit was found in the school toilet and was immediately flushed.
"Still under investigation," said Zaenul.
At the closed SPPG location, the Sub-Coordinator of Environmental Health, Occupational Health, and Sports of the Blora District Health Service, Tutik Rahayu, told the press that her party had conducted an inspection of the SPPG.
According to him, officers are gathering information related to the food processing and distribution process, from the time the food is cooked to the delivery process to the recipient.
"We asked about when it was cooked and what time it was ready, who the distributor was, and what time it arrived," explained Tutik.
The officers then went directly to the location of the Pelita Gizi Makmur Closed SPPG Foundation to inspect the condition of the food processing facility.
"From the initial inspection, it turned out that there were many holes in the walls," he said.
