Food insecurity exists whenever people have limited food access at all times for an active and healthy life. In the case of Malaysians, their multicultural identity has expanded their palate and surrounded them with various food choices in their daily life.

A total of 400 survey data using a self-administrated questionnaire were collected among students across public universities in Selangor, Malaysia. Statistical analysis revealed that food quality significantly influences students’ academic performances. Students at a lower risk of food insecurity included those who reported living with their parents and those who received monthly allowances from government agencies and their parents. In addition, food-secure students were more likely than food-insecure students to report a higher GPA versus a lower GPA. These findings compel relevant authorities, including university and food-related service providers, to consider the importance of food quality and students' amount of food intake as these factors significantly influence their academic performances.
