This article presents the results of the research titled "School Nutrition in the Colombian Public Institutions". It was developed by the research group New Tendencies of Law from the Surcolombiana University, and funded by the Right to Food and Nutrition Watch of the FAO. The main goal consisted in determining whether the food products sold in the shops of the Colombian public institutions, achieved the standards and obligations prescribed by the Law 1355 of 2009. This law adopted preventive and attentive measures against obesity and chronic non-communicable diseases. This research had a mixed approach thanks to the help provided by the statistical data retrieved from the written petition's responses which made possible for a qualitative analysis of the public policy in departments, townships and schools.

Palabras clave : Food security; school nutrition; public food policy.
