Foodinsider has realized a website www.foodinsider.it where are available all the initiatives promoted in the last years: information related to the school canteen services, educational contents and the result of the school canteen menu Ratings. The Rating of the menus served at school is the most important initiative that this year has reached its third edition. The aim of the 2018 Rating is to underline the most frequent mistakes in the school meals, promote new unofficial guide-lines with the help of the scientific committee and publish a book with the best recipes of school canteens in Italy. Thanks to the National Rating program, Foodinsider opened a national-scale debate about school canteen service, firmly grounded on objective data, and allowed people to make comparisons among different catering models and highlight the best menus and the best models. The Rating compiled during March and April (at the end of the winter menu) provides a detailed picture of school canteen service in Italy, showing very different quality levels and pushing on the municipalities’ reputation to improve the service. The analysis of the Rating and the answers of the test also show clearly the most frequent mistakes and problems of the school canteen and the different catering models existing in Italy. One of the clear issues is that municipalities that keep school kitchen open have better menus, hence better scores. The Rating has become an influencer able to disseminate best practices and gives advices not to repeat mistakes. The news of the Rating results is published every year on many national and local newspapers and it has become a topic for TV news.
