MSMEs in the food sector are the dominant economic support in Indonesia. Surabaya has more than 60 thousand MSMEs. In food production at the MSME level, food additives and packaging is inevitable. Despite the current regulations, people still encounter dangerous food additives or packaging. This is caused by a lack of knowledge and awareness of food producers and consumers. On the other hand, since the implementation of the halal guarantee system, the use of halal labels on food and beverage products has become very important. For MSMEs, the government makes it easy to get a halal label through the self-declare halal program using the SEHATI. This activity aims to provide training on safe food additives and packaging, halal food, and the self-declare halal program using the SEHATI application in Surabaya. Carrying out activities using presentation and two-way interaction. Evaluate activities through pretest and posttest for each topic. The lowest values for food packaging, it is 52.92 and 79.58.
