Indonesian schools face widespread poisoning crisis
The free meal program in Indonesia, launched by President Joko Widodo, has caused approximately 2,000 people, mostly students, to suffer from food poisoning since the beginning of the week. This highlights the food safety risks associated with the initiative, which is expanding into a multi-billion dollar project. The poisoning cases occurred in the regions of East Java, Central Java, West Sumatra, Aceh, and South Sulawesi, after consuming meals provided through the program in Islamic boarding schools. The highest number of cases was recorded in Rembang Regency, where contaminated food led to symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. This setback is a disappointment for the government program, especially given the repeated incidents of poisoning and allegations of corruption, despite the government's efforts to expand the initiative.
