“…Estudos vêm demonstrando inadequação nas refeições oferecidas pelas empresas e organizações/instituições cadastradas no PAT. As pesquisas apontam uma possível exposição de trabalhadores à alimentação não saudável em ambiente de trabalho e reforçam a necessidade de melhora da qualidade das refeições oferecidas, a fim de que esse programa seja de promoção da alimentação saudável (CARNEIRO; SOUZA; MOURA, 2013, MESQUITA;MESQUITA, 2013, PEREIRA et al, 2014, DUARTE et al, 2015POSSA, 2017).…”

A Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional da população brasileira pode ser assegurada por meio de políticas públicas que destinam recursos para sistemas alimentares sustentáveis. Entre estes, tem-se a agricultura familiar, que tem foco na economia de qualidade para os cidadãos a partir de iniciativas locais como integração de comunidades inseridas no contexto da Economia Solidária (ES). Este texto tem como objetivo apresentar parte de pesquisa em andamento, na qual considera-se os sistemas alimentares sustentáveis como potenciais abastecedores do Programa de Alimentação dos Trabalhadores (PAT). Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, nas bases de dados do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES/MEC e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO-Br). Não há evidências de participação da agricultura familiar no PAT. O arcabouço legislativo que o Governo Federal proporciona para a agricultura familiar contempla o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) e o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE). Estas políticas contribuem para garantir a sobrevivência no campo, mas na prática apresentam grandes limitações. Por outro lado, significativos resultados vêm sendo obtidos, como o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar. Diante dos resultados positivos observados, as autoras consideram a importância de as mesmas modalidades de compra da agricultura familiar serem incorporadas no PAT.

“…Although it is naturally expected that a food assistance program will improve the nutritional status of their participants, there is empirical evidence that the WFP has fallen short to achieving its objectives. Actually, several studies have revealed that the meals served to workers, whether by the company or by outsourced companies, are often nutritionally inadequate when compared to the legal requirements [ 12 – 14 ]. Briefly, these define that the main meals must contain 30-40% of the daily total energy with the following distribution of nutrients: carbohydrate 60%, protein 15%, total fat 25%, saturated fats: < 10, fibre 7-10 g, and sodium 720-960 mg [ 10 ].…”

Participation in a food assistance program and excessive weight gain: an evaluation of the Brazilian Worker’s Food Program in male and female manufacturing workers

et al. 2022

Background Several published studies have reported an association between participation in a food assistance program and greater prevalence of overweight/obesity. Our aim was to compare nutritional status and nutrient consumption between workers from manufacturing companies participant and non-participant in the Brazilian Workers’ Food Program (WFP). Design Cross-sectional survey, based on a probability sample of manufacturing workers in Brazil obtained by stratified two-stage sampling, comparative between WFP and non-WFP participating companies. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and nutrient consumption (24-hour recall) were collected by trained nutritionists. Statistical analysis was done separately in each sex with mixed effects multilevel linear regression model including sampling weights and covariate adjustment. Results Thirty-three companies were randomly selected from all companies in three different economic activity sectors (food and beverages, non-metallic minerals, and textiles) in North-eastern Brazil, with stratification by company size, and a random sample of 929 workers (484 from non-WFP and 445 from WFP companies) was obtained from those companies. In males, the WFP group had higher BMI (+ 1.08 kg/m2, p < 0.001), greater WC (+ 3.27 cm, p < 0.001) and greater prevalence of obesity (OR 1.67, p < 0.001). In females, no statistical significant differences were observed in anthropometric parameters, but the WFP group had lower prevalence of obesity (OR 0.49, p = 0.05). Among workers in companies that provide lunch, males from WFP companies have greater consumption of carbohydrates (+ 39.5 kcal, p = 0.02) and protein (+ 11.1 kcal, p = 0.08), while females have lower protein consumption (− 14.2 kcal, p = 0.04) and also lower total daily consumption of carbohydrates (− 59.3 Kcal, p = 0.05) and total lipids (− 14.2 Kcal, p = 0.04). Conclusions Participation in the WFP is associated with increased BMI and WC among male workers; however, this association was not found in females. Compared to the non-WFP group, in the WFP group, males have greater consumption of carbohydrates and protein at lunch, while women have lower protein intake. These results indicate the need that proposals for public policies aimed to the improvement of the nutritional status of populations take into consideration the different effects of food assistance programs in males and females.

“…However, the fact that workers have access to food at work in industries adherent to the WFP may not necessarily guarantee the consumption of a nutritionally balanced diet. Several studies in companies adherent to the WFP, on the one hand, have reported deviations of the diets provided from the regulatory directives with greater offer than recommended by the WFP on calories, protein, fiber, sodium, total fat and cholesterol, according to the nutritional assessments of the menus [6][7][8]. On the other hand, other studies have observed a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity among workers of WFP-adherent companies compared to non-adherent industries, suggesting a relationship to the food offered [9][10][11].…”

Long-term effect of the Brazilian Workers’ Food Program on the nutritional status of manufacturing workers: A population-based prospective cohort study

et al. 2020

Background The Brazilian Workers Food Program (WFP) is a public policy program of nutritional assistance to workers, with the main objective of improving nutritional conditions, which was implemented 40 years ago and serves over 21.4 million workers. Objectives To compare the long-term change in anthropometric indicators of the nutritional status and dietary intake between workers of manufacturing industries adherent to and non-adherent to the WFP. Methods A prospective cohort study, based on a combined stratified and multistage probability sampling, was carried out, with two waves with a 4-year interval. The change in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and dietary intake at lunch by the 24-hour recall method were compared between groups with analysis of covariance. Results A total of 273 workers in 16 industries from an initial cohort of 1069 workers in 26 industries of the State of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil were evaluated in the two waves. The mean age was 37±10 years and 53.1% were male, with no differences between groups in age and sex distribution. BMI increased in both groups (0.44 kg/m2 in non-WFP, p = 0.003, and 0.56 kg/m2 in WFP, p = 0.0006) and WC increased in the WFP group (1.50 cm, p = 0.0006). BMI change over time did not show statistical differences between groups (p = 0.54) but WC had
