The Brazilian National School Feeding Programme aims to ensure food security and the right to food for public school students. To protect these fundamental rights, a comprehensive approach is needed that includes ensuring food safety. Recognising that low socio-economic conditions, inadequate food safety and child vulnerability can pose a cumulative burden on child development, this study examined food safety in public schools in Sergipe, Brazil, in the context of local socio-economic indicators. All state public schools in Sergipe ( = 314) were included. Food safety and socio-economic data were analysed using secondary sources and geographical maps. The cluster analysis identified two different groups of schools based on socio-economic indicators. While most schools presented regular foodborne illness risks, food production and temperature control had particularly high levels of non-compliance. Schools in areas with higher socio-economic indicators (Cluster 2) had better overall food safety scores ( < 0.001) compared to schools in areas with lower socio-economic indicators (Cluster 1). Cluster 1 schools also had a higher FBI risk when analysing temperature-controlled equipment violations ( = 0.001), food handlers ( = 0.005) and process and production ( = 0.004), which emerged as critical areas. These results emphasise the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve food safety in schools located in areas with lower socio-economic conditions.
巴西国家学校供餐计划旨在确保公立学校学生的食品安全和获得食物的权利。为保护这些基本权利，需要一种全面的方法，其中包括确保食品安全。认识到社会经济条件差、食品安全不足和儿童易受伤害可能给儿童发展带来累积负担，本研究结合当地社会经济指标，对巴西塞尔希培州公立学校的食品安全情况进行了调查。塞尔希培州所有的州立公立学校（= 314所）均被纳入研究。利用二手资料和地理地图对食品安全和社会经济数据进行了分析。聚类分析根据社会经济指标确定了两类不同的学校。虽然大多数学校存在常见的食源性疾病风险，但食品生产和温度控制方面的违规情况尤为严重。与社会经济指标较低地区的学校（第1组）相比，社会经济指标较高地区的学校（第2组）总体食品安全得分更高（< 0.001）。在分析温度控制设备违规情况（= 0.001）、食品处理人员（= 0.005）以及加工和生产环节（= 0.004）时，第1组学校的食源性疾病风险也更高，这些方面已成为关键领域。这些结果强调，迫切需要采取有针对性的干预措施，以改善社会经济条件较差地区学校的食品安全状况。
