<![CDATA[Improving nutrition literacy among mothers of toddlers, particularly regarding sugar and MSG consumption, is essential to prevent nutritional issues such as stunting and obesity. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of educational interventions on sugar and MSG consumption among mothers at Posyandu Kakaktua 7, Dusun Ngeledok, Ngawi, East Java, in July 2025. A pre-test and post-test design was used, with knowledge assessment conducted before and after the intervention. The educational session was delivered using a leaflet containing information on the health risks of excessive sugar and MSG consumption and guidance on healthier food choices. Results showed a significant improvement in mothers' knowledge, with an average pre-test score of 6.56 and a post-test score of 8.73. The intervention successfully enhanced mothers’ awareness of the negative effects of high sugar and MSG intake, promoting healthier dietary practices. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of community-based education in improving nutrition literacy and highlights the importance of empowering mothers in ensuring proper nutrition for their children.]]>
