Abstract Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of supplementary biscuit and anchovy biscuits to the ferritin concentrations in pregnant women with CED at the second trimester II, after 12 weeks of intervention. Methods: This study is a quantitative research using experimental methods with pre-post controlled design. The number of samples in this study were 40 pregnant women with CED at second trimester whom were selected using purposive sampling. Data includes Biscuit Consumption that obtained from observation sheets, while ferritin results obtained from serum extraction during laboratory examinations. Data were analyzed using statistic analysis of paired "T" test. Result: The results using regression test showed that there was no effect of supplementary biscuits and anchovy biscuits provision to ferritin level, with P> 0.05 (0.71). Bivariate analysis showed that consumption of supplementary biscuits and anchovy biscuits had no effect on upper arm circumference, with P> 0.05 (0.416) and no effect on body mass index (BMI), with P> 0.05 (0.817). Conclusion: It was concluded that there was no effect of the provision of supplementary biscuits and anchovy biscuits to the ferritin concentration in pregnant women with CED at the second trimester. Supplementary biscuits and anchovy biscuits is not enough to increase the ferritin levels in pregnant women with CED at the second trimester
