Abstract

Introduction: Exposure to harmful substances in food is a significant factor contributing to stunting and nutritional problems in children, as it impacts their growth and development. While healthy diets are well-documented, direct links between dietary intake and harmful substance exposure are less explored. This study investigates key risk factors influencing such exposure in children.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the impact of nutritional status, dietary intake, and exposure to harmful substances in children.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 780 children in 30 elementary School, collected data on dietary intake, nutritional status, and laboratory testing for harmful substances like borax, formalin, Rhodamine B, and cyclamate using Qualitatif Test Kit. Food samples were obtained from school vendors and commonly consumed items. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square tests and binary logistic regression to assess the relationships between variables.

Results: Among the children, 50% were aged 8–9 years, and 53.8% were female. Most had good nutritional status (69.2%), and 88.2% had sufficient dietary intake. However, 69.1% were exposed to harmful substances in food. Poor nutritional status increased exposure risk by 3.11 times (p < 0.001), and insufficient dietary intake raised it by 13.26 times (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Nutritional status and dietary intake significantly affect exposure to harmful substances. Improved nutrition and stricter food safety measures are vital to reducing health risks in children.
