ABSTRACT
Twice in the years 1995 and 1996 in the autumn seasons daily meals (breakfasts, dinners, suppers) from the canteen of the Nursing Home in Cracow were subjected to analysis in 10 consecutive days. Simultaneously evaluation of the feeding system of elderly people was performed on the basis of the recommended standards according to the menus and expenditure for foodstuffs. Studies conducted on daily meals of elderly people in the autumn season have shown that daily acceptable intake of nitrate and nitrite was not exceeded.
