Analysis of Problems and Construction Model of Nutritional and Healthy Canteens:Take Two Pilot Projects in China As Examples
[Objective]To explore the problems existing in the pilot construction of nutritional and healthy canteens and explore effec-tive construction models according to the requirements of the Guidelines for the Construction of Nutrition and Health Canteens.[Method]From 2021 to 2022,the pilot constructi city on of nutrition and health canteens in 4 schools in Taizhou city of Zhejiang province and 8 units and 7 schools in Haidian district of Beijing were followed,and 1 300 diners and 800 canteen staff were surveyed by questionnaire.The changes of per capita consumption of ingredients,salt,oil and sugar were collected,and relevant personnel were interviewed regularly.[Result]The main problems in the pilot construction of canteens are nutrition labels do not cover all dishes,the utilization rate of nutrition and health corners is low,personnel or financial guarantees are not in place,professionals is lack,self-made publicity materials have scientific problems,the form of publicity activities is single,and the cooking and supply of nutritious and healthy dishes need to be improved.The effective construction model of nutrition and healthy canteens should include publicize and implement in detail,the govern-ment coordinate the overall situation,experts participate in the whole process,flexible use of science and technology,equipped with profes-sionals,improve the canteen environment,carry out targeted activities,and pay attention to the process and effect evaluation.[Conclusion]The construction of nutrition and health canteens in China has achieved initial results,but there are still problems in scientific,holistic and long-term aspects.Nutrition and health are still the key themes and directions that need to be followed in the construction of canteens in the future.
