Free Nutritious Meal Program, Nutritionist Liability, Legal Implications, Food SafetyAbstract
The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program aims to improve nutritional conditions in society, particularly for school-aged children and vulnerable groups. However, the implementation of this program still poses risks of issues such as food poisoning and malnutrition, which can lead to legal implications for nutritionists. This study employs a juridical-sociological (empirical) method using both statutory and sociological approaches. Primary data sources include Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and Law Number 18 of 2012 concerning Food. Secondary data comprises books, articles, and interviews with nutritionist experts. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that nutritionists bear the responsibility to design menus, monitor food quality, and ensure food safety, alongside legal liability in the event of food poisoning or malnutrition.
