The aim of this paper is to present data of 4-year (2008-2011) program on monitoring and correction of energy, biological and salt (sodium chloride) values in single daily meals (breakfast or lunch) of public elementary schools, in Novi Sad. Description of the problem Relating to the established 4-year program, 963 daily meals were sampled from school canteens. Energy, biological values and salt content in acquired samples were evaluated using standardized methods. Descriptive statistics were presented for categorical variables as frequencies and compared between groups by using the Pearson 2 test. Continuous variables, expressed as means standard deviation were compared between groups by using the Student t test. Results The average annual energy value of the controlled daily meals during the first year of the project was 1539.23 255.20 g; and increase was observed during the final year 1602.04 288.04 g (p > 0.05). The average annual salt content value was reduced from 8.62 1.55 g (first year) to 3.58 0.87 g (final year) (p < 0.0001). Content of macronutrients: proteins, fats and carbohydrates was in the concordance with recommended daily intake values of 10-15%, up to 30% and 55-75% respectively. Conclusions During the four year period, energy and biological values of meals were satisfactory and in accordance with current legislatives in Republic of Serbia and World Health Organization recommendations for population nutrition from 1998. The program on salt reduction in meals in schools has been implemented successfully, salt content dropped significantly, but the established goal of 5g intake per day is still to be reached. Key message Continuing education and cooperation with all entities responsible for children’s health is necessary for the prevention of chronic noncommunicable diseases in adulthood.
