Abstract:

The study analyzed and compared the types of food commercialized in the surroundings of 30 private and 26 public elementary schools in the city of Niterói-RJ. Data collection was carried out by audit using a check list instrument to characterize establishments (formal or informal) and to identify the types of food and beverages commercialized. These were classified according to the degree of processing (in natura, processed and ultra-processed). Mann-Whitney statistical tests were used to verify the difference in the type of trade and the categories of food traded between scholls; Kruskal-Wallis test was used to verify the difference in the amount of food traded between the categories. The amount of ultra-processed in the surroundings of public and private schools was statistically higher (p = 0.0001) thanthe other categories. Some culinary preparations had a high percentage of energy contributionultra-processed foods (above 15%). There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.478) in the categories of food sold between public and private schools. In the surroundingsof public and private schoolsthe commercialization of ultra-processed products predominates, favoring the exposure of children to an environment that encourages the consumption of these products.
