Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, and the analysis of the discursive material involved thematic analysis and summaries between the empirical material, the theoretical framework (public health and philosopher Michel Foucault), and contextual inputs. Three themes emerged: unicipal manager in the Unified Health System; feeding SISVAN is the entire team's problem, challenge, and role; and management strategies and perspectives to improve the coverage and quality of SISVAN data. SISVAN was understood as a powerful tool for the Health System. However, some challenges emerged, such as an overload of the health system, managers, and professionals, scarce resources, and precarious work. Understanding health work as a micropolitics and relational field was essential to promote interprofessionality and the participation of all those involved.","PeriodicalId":10195,"journal":{"name":"Ciencia & saude coletiva","volume":"30 6","pages":"e04582024"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144494958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA) was used to assess the level of food security in the household, while the food consumption was assessed through 24-hour dietary recalls. Foods were classified according to the degree of processing and divided into food groups/subgroups. It is noteworthy that the share in kcal of fresh or minimally processed foods was more significant among the population in food insecurity. There was a difference in the frequency of consumption of all groups evaluated (p < 0.05), with the exception of the cereals, drinks and soups/broths group. The consumption (% and grams) of fruits and vegetables was much more significant in the population in food security, while the beans/other legumes, flour and eggs groups were more consumed by households in food insecurity. These results demonstrate the importance of expanding public policies that guarantee access to quality food in sufficient quantity for populations with greater food vulnerability, respecting diversity and food culture.","PeriodicalId":10195,"journal":{"name":"Ciencia & saude coletiva","volume":"30 6","pages":"e20042023"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144494936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical analysis was based on the assessment of agreement between translations and the measurement of the reliability of the results by the kappa coefficient.
