Abstract

Introduction: The National School Feeding Program (PNAE) is the oldest initiative of the Brazilian government in the area of school feeding and Food and Nutritional Security, being the most comprehensive in the world with respect to the care of schoolchildren and the guarantee of the Human Right to Adequate and Healthy Feeding. Objective: To analyze the food and nutritional recommendations established for the PNAE in the period 2009-2020. Method: An online search for documents and legislation dealing with the topic was conducted on the website of the National Fund for Educational Development (FNDE). In addition, materials resulting from research conducted on the Virtual Health Library (VHL-BIREME) and Google Academic were used. Result: The PNAE has been marked by advances in management and operationalization, where decentralization is a process that has made it possible to reduce the supply of processed and ultra-processed food in school feeding. The year 2009 is a milestone for food and nutritional recommendations, in view of the obligation, imposed by Federal Law n. 11.947/2009, to purchase food from family agriculture for school feeding. This determination was reinforced by Resolution CD/FNDE n. 38/2009, together with the expansion and detailing on nutritional and food recommendations for the PNAE, and was succeeded by Resolutions CD/FNDE n. 26/2013 and CD/FNDE n. 06/2020. Conclusion: Based on the evaluation and comparative process of the evolution of nutritional recommendations of the PNAE, it is possible to affirm that the evolution took place as the profile of food consumption and the nutritional status of the Brazilian population were changing.
