Editor's Notes

• #3: Foodinsider is a network of people with difference competence that have in common the interest in the quality of food, mainly the food offered at school
• #4: At the beginning Foodinsider was formed by parents that were above all school canteen commissioners. School Canteen Committees is an organization present in many Italian cities and are formed by parents and teachers on a voluntary basis every school year. Their task is to monitor the quality of food and service by supervising school meals, tasting the food and filling reports. As an example, in Milan, there are currently 2.200 commissioners operating at school. Starting from 2011, the Milanese School Canteen Committees began to elect their own representatives (2 for each city zone, so 18 in total), a team of people who have managed to negotiate improvements of menus and service. Claudia Paltrinieri was a member of the first elected Representation of the School Canteen Committees, which ran for four years (2011-2015). She later founded Foodinsider, a digital platform devoted to food education with a focus on school canteen menus. The original aim was to share information among parents and provide tools to increase their awareness about the quality of the menus.
• #5: School canteen commettee monitor the quality of the school canteen service and can ask for changes. Sometimes if they don’t find any answer to the request of change and the food remain of a bad quality, then conflicts may rise In some cities of Italy where conflicts haven’t found any solution the result is that family have decided to give up and prefer to bring their own food made at home
• #9: The score menu is based on a test developed by the Milan Area 2 Public Health Unit (the Milan Area 2 refers to the southern suburb of Milan) in 2010. The test was used until 2017 and then dismissed when the Area 2 was incorporated to Area 1. �� The aim of the test was to evaluate the balance of school menus and the quality of the food served in school canteens located within the Milan suburb area. The metrics were based on the Guidelines of Italian school canteen dated 2010 and the WHO Recommendations.
• #19: Industrial process has decreased the quality of food Frauds are frequent in school canteen service The result is that about 30% of the food is rejected
• #20: There is also a question of price, because the rate in Italy can be 2.50 euro but rise up to 9 euro per meal
• #21: What is the risk? In some cases as we have seen in Pescara, the risk is the poisoning of children, but if you widen your perspective all this will have a great impact on obesity, increase of health cost on Gross Domestic Product
