Abstract

|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of a school foodservice menu evaluation and the perception of the school’s dietitian on menu evaluation. Questionnaires were distributed to 448 school dietitians with an official letter, and a total of 292 responses were used for analysis. More than 90% of the respondents stated that a menu evaluation for the school foodservice was necessary. The major barriers to menu evaluation were “excessive workload” and a “lack of know-how”, and the expected benefits were “increased satisfaction of customers” and “increased foodservice efficiency”. The menu evaluation for “student preferences”, “health improvement”, and “ease of quality management” categories were performed in more than 45% of schools. The proportion of subjects who answered that “customer satisfaction” and “increased efficiency of foodservice” were expected benefits of menu evaluation were significantly higher in the menu evaluation group (p＜0.05).
