The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program is a national program that requires a clear legal basis because it involves managing a large amount of state budget and its implementation involves many parties. This study aims to analyze legal certainty in the implementation of MBG as well as the factors causing legal uncertainty, especially in the mechanisms of goods/services procurement and budget accountability. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The legal materials used consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, which are analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation and argumentation. The research results show that MBG regulations already have a more complete legal basis, from the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia, laws related to state finances, Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2024, Presidential Regulation No. 115 of 2025, to BGN technical regulations. However, legal certainty isn’t fully optimal yet because there’s still a need to strengthen aspects like goods/service procurement, division of authority, supervision, and budget accountability. Clear regulations are needed to achieve accountability and efficiency in the use of state budgets.
