Sleman, July 28th, 2022. Healthy food intake is the key to healthy growth and development, especially during childhood years. It is not only obtained from home, but food intake is also obtained by the children in schools. The BPOM (Indonesian national agency of drug and food control) survey in 2010 stated that more than 70% of food poisoning incidents occurred among elementary school (SD) students. The selection of food and snacks that are safe for consumption by children needs to be a concern to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the school environment.
