Introduction: Food and Nutrition Education is acknowledged as a practice to form adequate eating habits and, especially in the school environment, has gained strength through several guidelines and regulations. Objective: Develop and validate a diagnosis tool for Food and Nutrition Education [EAN - Educação Alimentar e Nutricional] actions developed in schools. Method: Methodological study with questionnaire design in 3 steps: a survey of the questionnaire’s items and sections through a literature review of scientific articles, institutional documents, and current legislation; drafting the questionnaire items based on the definition of themes and domains, respecting techniques and strategies to prepare items for measurement scales; and content validation by checking the representativeness of the items to the content to be evaluated. Results: A self-administered questionnaire was obtained for those responsible for schools at all levels of elementary education, with 25 items divided into 4 sections: 1) School identification - 7 items, 2) EAN in schools - 10 items, 3) Use of the school garden - 5 items; and 4) Interaction of professionals and family members with EAN actions - 3 items. Conclusions: The proposed questionnaire can be used to initially review the EAN situation in schools, drive important developments, and should qualify the planning of future actions. Although it was developed with a focus on public schools, its use can also be extrapolated to private schools, which allows comparisons between different scenarios.
