The research informants were the Head of the Payakabung Health Center, the nutrition head of the Payakabung Health Center, the village midwife, the Posyandu cadre and the mother of toddlers. Based on the four components of the evaluation of supplementary feeding programs, five variables are still a problem in program implementation. The unavailability of a special building for PMT product storage, monitoring has not been carried out properly, so the target has not been obedient in consuming PMT products because some targets do not like the product or the target family also consumes the product. The implementation of the supplementary feeding program is generally good, but several things must be corrected. Recommendations are that monitoring activities in the implementation of the program must be further enhanced and should use the latest supplementary feeding guidelines and use special product storage buildings.
