Abstract
A study was made of food served for lunch in the canteen of a large industrial factory during the 1998 year. The data used for analysis were the number of food materials, food groups, kinds of meal, cooking methods, food intake and nutrient intake for two set lunch menus.
The two set lunch menus satisfied the diners' requests of being able to select a main dish of either fish or meat. There were respective totals of 134 and 144 kinds of meal for the fish and meat selections in the year, although about 40 kinds of meal offered on both set menus made up 80% of the total. Frying or grilling were mainly used for both main dishes. Both set lu ches provided good nutritional balance, apart from the high salt and low calcium contents which needed improvement.
