This study focuses on the nutrition of young people in schools. The Saarland state government mandates the implementation of the "quality standards for school meals", developed by the Germany Society of Nutrition (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung, DGE) in schools offering school meals. This research evaluates the state of implementation.
4-week menu plans were evaluated using a stratified random sample of selected schools (n25%-sample=5, ntotal=23). In addition, all catering services of the district (ncaterer=5) were interviewed by written survey focused on any information on the company, the type of food, the menu design as well as general information.
None of the analysed menu plans met the DGE standard. The analysis of the menu plans allows for an assessment of the nutritional quality of food. Interviews with caterers provide background information on menu design.
The analysis of a randomised 25%-sample shows that the target specifications of the DGE are only implemented by a small number of schools in the exemplary selected district of St. Wendel, Germany. As the German Child and Youth Health Survey (KiGGS), also this evaluation shows that the quality of school meals deviates significantly from the recommendations of the DGE. There is a clear need for action.
本研究聚焦于学校中青少年的营养状况。萨尔兰州政府要求在提供学校膳食的学校实施由德国营养学会（Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung, DGE）制定的“学校膳食质量标准”。本研究对实施情况进行评估。
采用分层随机抽样的方式，从选定的学校（n25%样本 = 5，n总计 = 23）中评估为期4周的菜单计划。此外，通过书面调查对该地区所有餐饮服务提供商（ncaterer = 5）进行访谈，内容涵盖公司信息、食品类型、菜单设计以及一般信息。
所分析的菜单计划均未达到DGE标准。对菜单计划的分析有助于评估食物的营养质量。对餐饮服务提供商的访谈为菜单设计提供了背景信息。
对25%随机样本的分析表明，在德国圣温德尔市选定的典型地区，只有少数学校实施了DGE的目标规范。正如德国儿童和青少年健康调查（KiGGS）所示，本次评估也表明学校膳食质量与DGE的建议存在显著偏差。显然需要采取行动。
