The main objective of this study is comprehend the speech of food handlers from Brazilian schools about school feeding and food and nutrition education. A qualitative research in which the analysis of Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was used, that allows the rescue of social representations. It is composed by key expressions – the main ideas contained in the speech of individual subjects being subsequently expressed in a collective dimension through the grouping of similar key expressions, that comprise the CSD. The sample consisted of 57 public schools from different Brazilian regions, including capitals and municipalities within the states. The lifting of the speeches took place through face-to-face interviews, carried out in 2013 on visits to schools, with the aid of a semi-structured script, which allowed to raise understandings of manipulators and assimilations about the concept of school feeding and its role in the educational process, their assignments; what guidance about school feeding they receive; what activities they accomplish in conjunction with the professional nutritionist. It was observed that for the handlers, school feeding is healthy and appropriate, and seeks to contribute to the learning and development of students. Regarding to its attributions in the school environment, most realize their role for the handling and good hygiene practices with food. A similar result was observed in the guidance they receive from management, and activities developed in conjunction with the nutritionist, in which there was a predominance of expressions about operational technical nature activities.. The results revealed inherent potentials to the practice of food handler at school, as the perception of the need for providing healthy foods and practices that encourage good eating habits among students. However, their routine prevents their involvement with health education, besides other obstacles, such as training activities centered on the health aspect and vertical transmission of knowledge.
