More than 1,700 children became ill within three days after consuming meals from Indonesia’s free school‑lunch program, a figure that nearly matches the roughly 2,000 students cited by the nation’s top human‑rights commission. The meals, intended to address child nutrition nationwide, turned into a public‑health flashpoint, with reports of vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain spreading across multiple districts.

Indonesia’s top rights body has asked police to launch a criminal investigation, and authorities say they will secure the supply chain and test remaining stock. Reuters notes the probe aims to identify the source of the tainted food, while local outlets anticipate tighter oversight of the program as schools resume normal meals.
