Under this premise, this article was made, whose objective was to evaluate food safety in poor nutrition and neurological disability of children between 2 and 10 years. The methodology used was descriptive – transverse. The population consisted of 44 children with manifestations of poor nutrition and neurological disability, who attend the operational units of the 13D04 health district attached to the Canton of Santa Ana in Manabí. The instrument used was a dichotomous observation guide. Among its results is the fact that the degree of severe commitment of neurological disability was indicated in 55% of the total children and the remainder between mild and moderate. It is concluded that there is a relationship of correspondence between feeding with neurological disability in the children investigated.
