Resumo
INTRODUCTION: Risk perception, ranging from an uncertain opinion to a
firm belief, is the ability based on previous experience to interpret a situation
of potential harm to health or life, The analysis of health risk, understood as
the likelihood of an adverse event or health-related threats as well as the
perception of this risk, in school food can be the starting point for proposing
changes that involve the knowledge, skills and attitudes of school food
handlers. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to analyze school
food handlers perceptions of food health risk. METHODOLOGY: A
qualitative exploratory descriptive study, focus-group based. Data were
studied using content analysis. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: From the
themes which arose it became apparent that the group carries out
inappropriate actions during the meal preparation process, highlighting a
weak perception of student health risk. Students, teaching staff and
administrators contribute to this risk, and are perceived as determinants of
the final product: the meal. We also identified a perception that the food
handler s job is undervalued, as well as ignorance on the part of the
nutritionist about the peculiarities of school life, which translates into training
that is out of touch with reality. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: We conclude
that it is necessary to modify the training model for these workers to
positively affect risk perception, and to mobilize the school community in the
collective search for safe and healthy food at school.
