The food poisoning incidents in the Free Nutritious Food (MBG) program in West Sumatra (October 2025), covering the Agam (104 victims) and Padang Panjang regions, represent a critical point resulting in the loss of 140 effective teaching hours. This study aims to analyze the incident patterns through pre-processing of primary news data, thematic word cloud visualization, and clinical frequency analysis. Results show a dominant vomiting symptom (94%), confirming acute gastroenteritis among hundreds of affected students. Although BPOM laboratory tests showed negative pathogens (100%), technical findings identified hygiene process failures through coliform contamination in refilled drinking water (33% of cases) and operational illegalities in the majority of Food Nutrition Service Units (SPPG). The academic impact recorded a 42% decrease in attendance, threatening learning stability. As a preventive solution, elementary school teachers are recommended to implement a 10-minute daily 6-point checklist (focusing on SLHS, serving temperature ≥60°C, and water sanitation) as a trusted gatekeeper. Implementing simple HACCP at the school level is projected to prevent 90% of outbreak risks, transforming the MBG program from a health risk into sustainable educational welfare.
