[Technical and sanitary conditions of food service facilities in nurseries in Poland 1975-1985].
In the years 1975-1985 three times at intervals of 5 years the technical and hygienic condition was checked of the catering facilities of nurseries+ in a 40% randomly selected sample. The aim of the study was establishing whether in the years of increasing economic crisis, despite protective measures introduced by the authorities, detectable changes have taken place ot the advantage or disadvantage in the catering facilities, since a proper standard of this part of the nurseries is indispensable for a normal growth and health of children raised in institutions. In the first analysed 5-year period (1975-1980) some improvement was noted, especially in the technical equipment of these facilities. This was connected with greater investments provided for building of nurseries , resulting in a rise in the proportion of nurseries built according to the accepted building standard to 56%. In this way the number of nurseries with normal functional parameters increased. In the following 5-year period this condition was maintained owing to building of new nurseries although in lower number, while at the same time the worst crêches were liquidated in areas where the requirements for places in crêches have dropped. It was noted that in every third crêche the catering facilities were below the accepted hygienic standard for such institutions, and this situation continued since several years. The quality and timing of meals were incompatible with the principles of rational nutrition already at the stage of menu planning. Activities should be taken for ensuring proper hygienic conditions in the catering facilities in crêches and for improving the nutrition by correct composition of menu.
