Abstract

Flies are disease vectors from the order Diptera, whose presence in the work environment potentially causes health problems, particularly digestive disorders such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can ultimately affect worker productivity. Objective: This study aims to describe the fly density level and digestive disorder complaints among workers at the Nutritional Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) in Manado City. Methods: This was a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach conducted from March to May 2026. The population and sample consisted of all active workers at SPPG X (50 people) and SPPG Y (50 people), totaling 100 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through direct observation of fly density and interviews using questionnaires. Data were analyzed univariately to determine frequency distribution. Results: The results showed that fly density levels in both SPPG kitchens were generally in the low category. However, a moderate category was still found in the portioning area at SPPG X and the dishwashing area at SPPG Y. Most workers had digestive disorder complaints in the low category, with gastritis (maag) being the most frequently reported medical history. Conclusion: The fly density level and digestive disorder complaints among workers in both SPPG kitchens in Manado City are generally low, with gastritis being the most frequently reported illness history.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) implemented through Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) requires proper hygiene and sanitation practices to ensure food safety and protect workers' health. Poor environmental sanitation may increase the risk of digestive disorders and the presence of flies as mechanical disease vectors. This study aimed to describe digestive disorder complaints among workers and fly density levels at SPPG in Manado City. A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 92 workers selected using total sampling. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires, observation of personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and fly density measurements using a fly grill*. The results showed that most workers had no history of gastritis (72.8%) and were classified as having low digestive disorder complaints, with heartburn being the most frequently reported symptom. PPE use was generally good; however, compliance with mask and work clothing use still needs improvement. The fly population index at SPPG X was categorized as moderate (1.85), while SPPG Y was categorized as high (3.55), with the highest fly density observed in waste disposal and equipment washing areas. In conclusion, digestive disorder complaints among workers were generally low, but fly density remains a concern, indicating the need to strengthen environmental sanitation, food handler hygiene practices, and sustainable fly control measures.
