Purpose: A systematic review was undertaken for the purpose of determining trends in food and nutrition education utilizing school lunches following the enactment of the Shokuiku Basic Act in 2005.Method: A search for academic papers published over the 12-year period from 2005 to 2016 was conducted using the database of the Japan Medical Abstracts Society as well as a manual search. The criteria for selection were as follows: Firstly, papers had to be published in reviewed academic journals. Secondly, papers had to be original articles. Thirdly, the subjects of the papers had to be Japanese elementary school or junior high school students. Fourthly, the contents had to relate to the school lunch program. Fifthly, the papers had to contain statistical analyses.Results: A total of 165 papers were selected from the database search and 86 papers from the manual search. Eleven papers were ultimately chosen. The contents of these papers comprised food and nutrition education taught in the classroom (eight papers) and food and nutrition education that utilized school lunch times (three papers). The reports were published following the enactment of the Shokuiku Basic Act in 2005 and the School Lunch Act in 2008. Three papers were published in the period 2005 to 2010 and eight in the period 2011 to 2016.Conclusion: In recent years there has been an increase in the number of reports relating to food and nutrition education using school lunches with the recommendation that this method of education becomes part of the curriculum.
