The purpose of public service was to educate the cross ride traders around the school about healthy food that is safe for consumption. This activity was held in 2 stages. The first stage entailed the testing of food samples in 17 elementary schools in Malang Regency, which consisted of three districts around the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. The second stage was in response to educated traders based on an analysis of the results of products made of dangerous additives. There were positive results of 34 samples for borax, formalin, and rhodamine b, which were 46.86%, 17.7%, and 22.2%, respectively. The survey of the canteen indicated that 37.43% met the standards, 46.52% did not fully meet the standards, and 16.05% did not meet the standards at all.
