This paper proposes ten educational criteria to work on the Act for the Promotion of Healthy Eating in Chemistry classes (and other subjects) from a Human Rights perspective in order to promote critical attitudes towards food. The criteria were developed from an investigative and exploratory work on the implementation of the Act in supermarket shelves, the representations of people and the review of the manuals that establish its implementation. Throughout the article, different situations will be presented where the contributions of food science and technology in the implementation of the Act can be understood.
