<![CDATA[Women with disabilities continue to face barriers in accessing health and nutrition education, including information on safe food packaging. Knowledge of food packaging is important to support food safety, appropriate packaging selection, food storage, and understanding of label informationThis study aimed to analyze the improvement of food packaging knowledge among women with disabilities through an educational intervention in Sleman Regency. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The respondents were 20 women with disabilities who were members of HWDI Sleman Regency. Knowledge was measured using a questionnaire before and after the educational intervention. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The mean knowledge score increased from 75.67 ± 9.00 to 84.67 ± 8.68 after the intervention. All respondents showed increased knowledge scores, with no respondents experiencing decreased or unchanged scores. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = -3.986; p < 0.001). Food packaging education was associated with improved knowledge among women with disabilities and has the potential to strengthen food literacy among vulnerable groups.]]>
