Abstract:

The study aimed to characterize the food supply in the state public school canteens of Curitiba, Paraná, and to investigate the association of the food supply allowed/not allowed by the Healthy Canteen Law, with school and canteen variables. A cross-sectional study was carried out with an interview with canteen administrators in 27 state schools. Used Mann Whitney’s test to investigate associations. There was a higher frequency of administration of the canteens under self-management regime (n=25, 92.6%); appropriate place in the school for meals (n=20, 74.1%); length of time in administration over 10 years (n=13, 48.2%) and administrators who reported knowing the Healthy Canteen Law (n=22, 81.5%). More than 2/3 of canteens sold food not allowed, such as sugary beverages (n=22, 81.5%) and candies, industrialized popcorn and salty snacks (n=13, 48.2%). Only one offered fried snacks (n=1, 3.7%). Only the offer of technical education was associated with greater availability of food allowed by legislation (p=0.033). The evaluated school canteens can be characterized as places of commercialization of food not allowed by the Healthy Canteen Law. It is important to highlight the regulation and inspection of food sales in canteens for health promotion in schools.
