  "account": "The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) in Indonesia has removed the head of a nutrition fulfillment service unit (SPPG) in Cirebon city due to a mass food poisoning incident that affected nearly 400 students. The victims were mostly kindergarten students who fell ill after consuming quail egg soup. The BGN dismissed the SPPG head, Yulian Septa Pratama, after conducting an investigation into the implementation procedures at the problematic unit, SPPG Kalijaga 5 in Harjamukti district. The investigation, led by the BGN Deputy for Monitoring and Supervision, revealed a significant procedural violation in the daily operations of the unit. According to Pratama, the management had ordered ingredients or cooked food from external vendors for further processing, which is strictly prohibited in their technical guidance. Pratama informed Kompas.com that the investigation team inspected the kitchen, processing management, and operational governance at SPPG Kalijaga 5 on Wednesday, and they found the violation during their physical examination. The BGN took disciplinary action against the SPPG head in accordance with their employee regulations.",
