<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the framing of news coverage regarding food poisoning cases in the Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis / MBG) on Kompas.com and Tempo.co. The research employed a qualitative approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model, which consists of four elements: define problem, diagnose causes, make moral judgement, and treatment recommendation. The data consisted of six news articles related to MBG food poisoning cases published throughout 2025. The findings reveal that both media outlets framed the poisoning incidents as serious issues requiring government evaluation. However, Kompas.com tends to present news that focuses on the facts of events, the impact on victims, and the handling steps taken by the government or related parties. Meanwhile, Tempo.co is more critical by highlighting weaknesses in program management, hygiene standards, and supervision of the implementation of MBG. Research findings show that differences in media framing can influence how the public understands and evaluates the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program. Therefore, improvements in program management and supervision are necessary to ensure food safety and the successful implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program.]]>
