# More than one-thousand children have fallen ill from free school lunches in Indonesia this week. It is the latest in a string of mass food poisoning events linked to President Prabowo Subianto’s multi-billion-dollar nutritious meals programme. Authorities are now asking for the programme to be suspended due to health concerns. Last week 800 students fell ill in the West Java and Central Sulawesi provinces. This week’s victims ate meals that included soy sauce chicken and fried tofu, with past incidents linked to expired sauce and, in one case, the serving of fried shark.
