Introduction: The Brazilian School Food
Service (Programa Nacional de Alimentação
Escolar – PNAE) provides meals for 47 million
children every school day, 200 days a year, that
must meet the children’s nutritional needs. The
fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients,
fibers, aromas, flavours, textures and shapes
and are very important school food
components. Every day, each student receives
a minimum of 200 grams of fruits and
vegetables. The states and municipalities
authorities are responsible for its acquisition,
preparation and serving. Fruits and vegetables
have a very big value differentiation at the same
day for the same product, variety, given their
size and quality. The size and quality
denominations are not clear.
Objective: The public policy project, financed
by FAPESP – Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa
do Estado de São Paulo (PROCESSO
FAPESP 2010/52337-0), a partnership
between São Paulo Terminal Market of
CEAGESP and ESALQ – USP, is developing a
tool to choose fresh fruits and vegetables best
options in each time of the year: product,
variety, size and minimal quality standard.
