Edukasi Keamanan Bahan Pangan Bagi Ibu-ibu ‘Aisyiyah Buluspesantren

Food Additives (BTP) in current consumer products increase the risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, kidney failure, and cancer, particularly in children. Housewives play a central role in managing family consumption to minimize these risks. This community service activity aims to enhance the knowledge and awareness of 'Aisyiyah women in Buluspesantren, Kebumen Regency, regarding food safety and BTP regulations. The implementation method included preparing materials based on BPOM regulations, interactive education, product discussions, and simulations on reading nutrition labels. The results showed high enthusiasm from participants who are now more critical in distinguishing between natural and synthetic additives. Participants reported a significant improvement in their ability to identify food ingredients and additives in everyday products. The final evaluation recorded a 22.2-point increase in participant understanding. By establishing the habit of reading food labels, it is expected that the risk of non-communicable diseases within the family environment can be reduced, thus improving public health literacy and dietary choices within the community.
