Resumen

The objective of this study was to verify the adjustment of a menu in a municipal early childhood school in the town of Ibiraiaras – RS, considering the recommendations of the National Food School Program. A transversal study was carried out through the evaluation of a menu offered to the children, according to the PNAE recommendations and the Qualitative Evaluation method of the Menu Preparations (AQPC). Yet, it was verified the acceptability by using the facial hedonic scale. It was observed that the menu offered to those children did not show the majority of nutrientes approached by the PNAE. According to the AQPC method, it was observed the daily servings of fruits and vegetables that are offered to the students and the little quantity of fatty meat and food which are rich in sulfur in their meals. The acceptability test was carried out with 61 children, of which the female prevailed (57%), in which they seemed to accept well the meals offered to them, showing an average of 87% acceptability. It is important to emphasize that the food offered in this school may influence positively the students’ school performance, since it improves their ability to concentrate. Despite having good acceptability, the menu offered to them must be reviewed for a better adequacy of macro and micronutrientes, according to the PNAE recommendations, so that they offer the necessary nutrients for the children’s adequate growth and development.
