Popis: Objective: To examine whether and how Food and Nutrition Education (FNE) is addressed in textbooks adopted in elementary school of the municipal network of a city of Minas Gerais. Methods: Descriptive study on the analysis of textbooks. It was carried out using an instrument specially designed for this purpose. Was evaluated the presence of information about nutrition, feeding, food, and nutrients that was clearly related to FNE. All information identified was categorized according to its scope and concept considering the FNE Reference Framework. Results: A total of 70 books totaling 2.918 pages were evaluated. Of these pages, 230 (8.2%) had texts, illustrations or activities with obvious intent to work FNE pedagogically. The sciences books (51.3%) were the ones that presented most this theme. The highest proportion referred to food as a factor of protection or risk to health, and food in a approach of hygiene and food safety. Conclusion: The elementary school textbooks evaluated were ineffective in significantly and actively including FNE in a way to interact with the student, arouse his curiosity on the theme and understand it in its multiple dimensions, beyond to the biological aspects of feed. Thus, in choosing the books that will be adopted in schools, it is also important to evaluate if they are FNE tools and consequently, if they provide knowledge and discussions that stimulate of healthy eating habits in the child and youth group, in the school environment.
