SUMMARY:

The production of meals in institutional restaurants covers several nuances, especially in the current scenario of intense relationship between food and climate change, water scarcity, social and economic inequality and the incidence of morbidities in the world population. Thus, the present research aims to evaluate Institutional Education Restaurants (IER) of the federal public sphere from the perspective of Sustainable Nutrition, including the economic, social, environmental and health dimensions. This study was characterized as descriptive/cross-sectional, carried out in six IER from November 2018 to August 2019. The analysis consisted of evaluating acquisition foodstuffs as well as the menu served during 1 (one) month in each educational institution. The acquired foodstuffs were investigated from the perspective of their origin – place of production; financial investment by degree of processing – based on food guide guidelines; nutritional profile – according to the parameters of the Pan American Health Organization and presence of genetically modified organisms in order to address the socioeconomic, environmental and health dimensions. The menu served was subject to environmental and health evaluation through the assessment of Water Footprint (WF) and Nutritional Composition of the meal offered. The results of the present research showed that 44.8% of the acquired foodstuffs were of local origin; 28.1% of national origin; 15.7% of regional origin; 11.0% state and only 0.4% of international origin. Higher average percentage of financial spent in “fresh or minimally processed foods” (73.4%), followed by “processed” (11.9%), “ultra-processed” (10.8%) and “seasoning/culinary ingredients” (2.2%). Excess sodium (60.8%), Saturated Fat (46.9%), Total Fat (43.6%), Free Sugars (40.1%), Trans Fat (21.3%), Sweeteners (16.2%) in the acquired foodstuffs by the institutions. It was found that 9.2% of the purchased foods were transgenic. Regarding the analysis of the menus, an average water footprint of 2 165.5 Liters of water per meal was observed, which provided an average energy value of 834.6kcal, proteins 51.8g, carbohydrates 100.2g, lipids 25.2g, fiber 11.5g and sodium 1,289.6mg. Although IER have a higher purchase of local foods, with a high financial investment in “fresh or minimally processed” foods, there have nevertheless been considerable purchases of “processed” and “ultra-processed” foods in which they have direct implications on the frequency of foodstuffs with excess sodium, saturated fat, total fat, Free sugars, trans fat and sweeteners. The data obtained in the present research show that food acquisition and menu development in the RIE are directly related to the dimensions that involve sustainable nutrition.
