“…Insufficient consumption of dairy products, including fermented ones, was also demonstrated among preschoolers from Białowieża county [43] and children from 231 Polish kindergartens [31]. The low intake of milk and its products may generate the risk of calcium supply deficits, which has been confirmed by studies among preschool children [23,32,35].…”

“…During the period of a child's intensive growth and development, there is a high demand for wholesome proteins originating from meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products. Some studies have confirmed the normative [35], and others the supra-normative supply of protein [22,39] in the diet of preschool children. This study proved that among protein products, children most often chose: milk and dairy products, meat and poultry, eggs and fish.…”

Background. One of the factors determining the nutritional behaviour of children and adolescents is family socio-economic status. Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional behaviour of preschool children from the Kraków environment depending on the sex of the child and the mother’s level of education. Material and methods. The study was carried out among a group of mothers of 480 (240 girls and 240 boys) 4-6-yearolds, using the author’s questionnaire on dietary behaviours. Children of mothers with higher education accounted for 63.5%, and those with primary, vocational and secondary education constituted 36.5% of the group. Statistical analysis was carried out using the PQStat package 1.6.6.246 version, applying Pearson’s Chi-squared test (p<0.05). Results. The girls consumed a significantly greater amount of: vegetables (p<0.01), fruit (p<0.05), wholemeal bread (p<0.001) as well as milk and dairy products (p<0.001), and boys: meat and cold-cuts from poultry (p<0.001) and sweets (p<0.05). Children of mothers with higher education more frequently consumed: vegetables (p<0.001), fruit (p<0.001), wholemeal bread (p<0.001), fish (p<0.01) and eggs (p=0.01), and children of mothers with secondary and vocational education: milk and dairy products (p<0.05), meat and cold-cuts from poultry (p<0.001) and sweets (p=0.001), salted snacks (p<0.001) and sweetened fizzy beverages (p<0.05). Conclusions. Diversity in some dietary choices of preschool children from the Kraków environment has been demonstrated, depending on the sex of children and the mother’s level of education. Furthermore, it is indicated that girls and the children of mother’s with higher education are characterised by a more favourable diet.

“…In Poland, there is very limited evidence on the influence of season on menu quality. A higher level of vitamin C in menus during the summer compared to winter, autumn and spring menus was described by Orkusz and Włodarczyk [ 17 ]. However, this study was performed in one preschool only.…”

“…The existing data on nutrition come from analyses of individual childcare services, and have a different methodology. In some, the preschool menu is analyzed [ 5 , 6 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]; in others, children’s dietary intake [ 20 ]. Therefore, it is important to assess the quality of nutrition with a uniform methodology, and in a larger sample of DCCs located in different regions of the country.…”

Although the nutritional value of preschool menus largely determines the proper nutrition of attending children, their nutrient composition often does not meet the standards. The purpose of the study was to assess the nutritional value of menus served in preschools throughout Poland. We analyzed a sample of 10 daily menus and inventory reports reflecting foods and beverages served in 270 full-board government-sponsored preschools. Nutrient content was calculated per child per day, and compared with 70% of dietary reference intake (DRI) for children aged 1–3 and 4–6. The content of energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates generally exceeded 70% of DRI. The amount of vitamins was correct, with the exception of vitamin D (100% of daycare centers (DCCs) were below the recommendations); in ≤3% of preschools vitamin E, folate, and niacin were below DRI. Calcium was too low in 63% of preschools for children aged 1–3 years and in 99% for 4–6-year-olds. A shortage of iodine, iron, and potassium (especially for 4–6-year-olds) was observed in a small number of preschools. Our study highlights the need for uniform legal standards of nutrition in childcare centers, based on the current recommendations for the age group.

“…These beverages, according to the recipe, contain significant amounts of sugar. Compote, due to main ingredient (fruit) contains mainly simple sugars (added and naturally occurring in fruits) and some amounts of vitamin C. In the children's population in Poland, low intake of this vitamin is noted, especially in the group of preschoolers [ 35 , 36 ]. However, the content of vitamin C during thermal processing is significantly reduced (more than 50%), so the compote, opposite to fresh fruit or natural 100% fruit juices, is not a good source of it [ 37 ].…”

Background: Children’s beverage consumption patterns have received increased attention in light of the obesity epidemic in this group. In day care centers (DCCs), children spend up to 10 h a day, and typically consume half to three quarters of their daily food intake. The purpose of the study was to investigate what beverages are typically served to children in preschools in Poland, and to evaluate the practices associated with adding sugar and other sweetening agents to beverages. Methods: Direct interviews with preschools staff were conducted with a questionnaire regarding offered beverages and adding sugar and other sweetening agents. The menu of 10 consecutive days and inventory reports were analyzed to verify information. Results: A total of 720 preschools were included in the study. Cocoa and milk coffee substitute were served in 95% of preschools, followed by compote (92%), tea (84%), fruit/herbal tea (73%) and water (69%). Water was the only beverage available between meals (93% DCCs). 86% of preschools added sugar to tea/cocoa/coffee substitute drinks, and 74% to compote. Conclusions: In the majority of preschools, beverages which are not recommended were offered. Such an assortment of beverages and common practice of sweetening can increase the amount of added sugar in a children diet. Nutrition education and legal regulations concerning the assortment of beverages served in preschools are urgently needed.
