Editais públicos para o fornecimento de pequenas refeições e o Programa de Alimentação do Trabalhador: um estudo de caso / Public announcements for the supply of small meals and the Workers? Food Program: a case study

The objective of this study was to verify whether public announcements for the supply of small meals are consistent with the recommendations of the Workers? Food Program (WFP). Research for the announcements was carried out through Internet search in the official press sites of the states of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, using the following keywords: meal supply public announcements and food supply public announcements. The menus of small meals were selected and analyzed for energy content (kcal), macronutrients (%), fiber (g), sodium (mg), and NdPcal (%) and compared with the recommendation of the Workers? Food Program - WFP. Twenty-two menus selected from eight announcements were analyzed and none of them were in accordance with all nutri¬tional parameters recommended by the WFP. The inadequacies regard¬ing values above the recommended parameters were total energy value, carbohydrates, total fat, saturated fat, and sodium. Regarding values below the recommended parameter, the menus studied were inadequate for dietary fiber and protein. The recommendations of the WFP would be a good parameter to be followed by public institutions, because this program advocates healthy eating habits for the working class.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue verificar si los edictos públicos para el suministro de pequeñas comidas están de acuerdo con las recomendaciones del Programa de Alimentación del Trabajador - PAT. La investigación de los edictos se realizó a través de la búsqueda por internet en el site de la prensa oficial del estado de São Paulo y de Rio de Janeiro, usando las siguientes palabras clave: edicto de suministro de comidas y edicto de suministro de alimentación. Los menús para pequeñas comidas fueron seleccionados y analizados por su contenido de energía (Kcal), macronutrientes (%), fibras (g), sodio (mg) y NdPcal (%), comparándolos con la recomendación del Programa de Alimentación del Trabajador - PAT. En los ocho edictos seleccionados se analizaron 22 menús y no se encontró ninguno que cumpliese estrictamente todos los parámetros nutricionales recomendados por el PAT. Las inadecuaciones se daban tanto por exceso como por defecto. Los valores que estaban por encima de lo recomendado, presentaban unos menús con un exceso de nivel en valor energético total, hidratos de carbono, grasas totales, grasas saturadas y sodio. Y, entre los que estaban por debajo de lo recomendado, se encontró que dichos menús presentaban un escaso nivel de fibras y proteínas. Las recomendaciones del PAT serían un buen parámetro a seguir por parte de los órganos públicos, ya que este programa promueve la alimentación saludable para los trabajadores.
