ARRIBAS, Alberto; ARRIOLA, Ileana e CABRERISO, María Soledad. A transforming experience: when the school kiosk becomes a tool to guarantee the food consumption of best nutritional profile. Diaeta [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.168, pp.20-26. ISSN 1852-7337.
The objective of this project was to implement a healthy school kiosk to offer during break time foods with a better nutritional profile and promote their choice through a system of labeling and marketing, as well as advertising strategies. An agreement was made with head teachers and the kiosk´s staff, and characteristics of the kiosk such as infrastructure and nutritional profile of available foods were evaluated. Building and temporary modifications were made to promote commensality. Foods were profiled using the British Food Agency system and classified into different groups taking into account the French NutriScore system as a resource to expand the offer. They were labeled with a score similar to the rating scale used in the school setting, from 2 to 10. The highest score was assigned to the foods with the best nutritional profile (NP). As an advertising strategy and promotion of food consumption with the best NP, a prize was given to the form and teacher who collected the highest amount of points. In addition, the choice of certain foods with “bonustrack” and posters explaining their benefits was encouraged. It was possible to implement a healthy school kiosk meeting the requirements of the Ministry of Health such as guaranteeing free access to drinking water, offering food and drinks in containers with the right size, offering at least three products suitable for celiac children, eliminating advertising at school of food and drinks with a lower nutritional profile, displaying the best nutritional profile foods in the forefront as a means of catching the children´s attention, spreading messages that promote the consumption of healthy foods. The enthusiasm expressed by the educational community encourages to think that the intervention is promising and satisfactory results can be obtained.
