One of the food that has the potential to increase immunity is yogurt. Previously, research on the development of instant yoghurt flour products from local nuts and Manonjaya zalacca fruit had been carried out. The products of this research need to be downstreamed to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), so that it is expected to expand the use of these products to the public. The aim of the study was to determine changes in public knowledge about food consumption to increase the immune system of MSMEs through nutrition education interventions.
