Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the quality of Brazilian school meal menus. Methods: Cross-sectional study that analyzed 2500 menus of 500 Brazilian municipalities. The menus were evaluated based on the Quality Index for School Meal Menus (IQCAE – Indicador de Qualidade para Cardápios da Alimentação Escolar). The data were submitted to descriptive analysis. Results: We found that 29.4% of menus presented high quality; 50.6%, regular quality; and 20%, low quality. Grains and tubers (86%) and Meat and eggs (67%) were the groups most found in menus, followed by Legumes (42.16%), Vegetables (40%), Fruits (35.56%), and Dairy products (18.6%); the frequency of Cured meats and sausages (8.68%) and Sweets as meals (3.64%) was lower. Among other components, 84.6% of the menus offered Sweets as dessert in none or one day a week; ultra-processed foods appear in 65.6% of menus at least once a week. In 22% of the menus, meal time was compatible with type meal served. Conclusion: Important food for child nutrition, such as dairy, vegetables, and fruits, are not regularly provided by school meals. Despite the advances in policy management, the presence of ultra-processed foods at least once a week is still frequent in the menus.
