Abstract:

Objective: it was to evaluate the Worker Food Programthe perspective of managers, nutritionists and the food offered in industries of the Metropolitan Region in Recife. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A structured questionnaire was applied with 40 managers and 40 nutritionists about their knowledge on the program and the fulfilment of the duties required by it. The nutritional quality of the menus was also evaluated. Results: Among the managers and nutritionists, 22.5% and 72.5% did not know about the enrolment in the program and their nutritional requirements, respectively. Most nutritionists and managers related the program to a labour law requirement. No respondent knew the mandatory food and nutritional education actions, even so, 55% of the services carried out educational actions and 25% performed nutritional assessment of the workers. Despite the supply of natural beverages, fruit and leafy vegetables daily, there is also a daily supply of various ultra- processed products, especially sweets and artificial beverages. Conclusion: The study evidenced the lack of knowledge of managers and nutritionists about the program\'s objectives and a possible failure in its execution.
