Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of the ““healthy lunchbox““ intervention, proposed by the INS, in reducing malnutrition among children in the Piura region. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort research study was conducted, in which informed consent was obtained from parents and assent from children, documenting voluntary participation after receiving information about the study's purpose. Subsequently, data including demographic information, anthropometric measurements, and hematological data were collected at two time points: baseline and at 3 months, using a confidential form. Results: In this study of 224 malnourished students, 33% who received the healthy lunchbox showed significant improvements after three months, with a 27.03% reduction in the prevalence of malnutrition. It was also evidenced that exposed children have a 19% lower probability of presenting malnutrition. Conclusions: The healthy lunchbox demonstrated efficacy in reducing malnutrition among children in the Piura region, emphasizing the importance of access to nutritious foods in vulnerable communities
