ABSTRACT Cyclamate is an artificial sweetener that is chemically processed. Cyclamate should not be used on food products for infants, toddlers, pregnant women and nursing mothers. The maximum limit for using cyclamate is 0-11 mg / kg body weight. The objective of this research was to determine cyclamate levels in school snack beverages in Palu City. This research used an observation method at eight locations in Palu City which was held on August 8-24, 2018. The analysis of cyclamate levels was carried out at the Food and Drug Supervisory Center in Palu. Twenty samples of snacks were obtained by accidental sampling. The analysis method was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the cyclamate level in school snack drinks in Palu City that exceeded the threshold perka BPOM <350 mg / Kg was 35% with a level of 514.63 to 2963.43 mg / Kg.
