Introduction: There is a pressing need to advance mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating the Food and Nutrition Security situation in subnational governments, especially in times of crisis and the increased hunger in Brazilian homes. Objective: The study evaluates the Food and Nutrition Security situation in the municipalities of the state of São Paulo, through the application of a multidimensional assessment matrix based on the Brazilian concept of Food and Nutrition Security. Method: The development of the instrument was previously described, containing seven dimensions, 11 subdimensions, 27 indicators, and 59 measures, collected on public domain secondary databases. The databases were revisited and updated, accounting for six sources of information. The municipalities were classified based on the attribution of grades and situation classification (poor, regular, good, and excellent). Results: The results showed 2% of the municipalities in the state of São Paulo in poor situation, 26% in regular, 59% in good, and 13% in excellent. Most municipalities presented good and excellent results for the Food and Nutrition Security situation. Conclusion: Despite the difficulty in obtaining data due to the great variability of available tools, the study highlights important weaknesses in the “Universal access to adequate food,” “Universal access to water,” and “Permanent processes of education, research, and training in Security Food and Nutrition” dimensions in the state, which confirms the urgency of creating mechanisms for evaluating and improving government actions and strategies in this area.
