Context: Food and Nutrition Education plays an important role in promoting health through changing eating behavior. Given this, it has been incorporated as a strategy in the Brazilian public policies of several sectors. Social assistance services aim at reducing risks and vulnerability, as well as promoting rights, configuring spaces with potential for the educational process. Objective: To analyze critically, in the light of Paulo Freire and in the perspective of educational / didactic material, the Cadernos de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional [Food and Nutrition Education Books] focused on social assistance services, identifying the theoretical and methodological dimension in its construction, applicability of concepts and information addressed, by implementing the Food and Nutrition Education process and verifying its structure and writing. Results: After analyzing the Cadernos, it was verified that (i) the theoretical-methodological basis to be followed is not mentioned and, although they allude to Paulo Freire, the proposed activities are not in agreement with the concepts presupposed by him; (ii) the writing presents flaws in relation to the written standard and the use of references; (iii) the professional responsible for carrying out the actions is not indicated. Conclusion: The publication of guidelines for the Food and Nutrition Education process is fundamental, but it must have a clear and concise theoretical and methodological basis toactually contribute to the autonomous and voluntary change of eating behavior.
