The diploma thesis deals with current problems in the field of school feeding in a selected school canteen. The main aim is to map out the situation in terms of the composition of the consumer basket in the school canteen and determine possible improvement in the individual components of the consumer basket. School feeding is a part of the educational process and follows up on the fulfilment of the school educational program. It is also an environment for non-formal education in terms of strengthening good eating habits and social interaction during eating. Students acquire social and psychological competencies for life when participating in school feeding. They draw on dietary important practical knowledge in the field of nutrition and also learn social behaviour in eating in a non-violent way. By obtaining the consumer basket of the given school canteen, possible deficiencies associated with better filling were surveyed over three years. The findings that show problems with some components of the consumer basket, such as pulses or quality fresh vegetables, are the output of the work. The results of the survey revealed that the cause of this problem is insufficient financial resources for the purchase of better quality, mainly fresh, food e.g. vegetables. The aim of the diploma thesis was to process the obtained data of a specific school canteen in Central Bohemia and analyze the individual components of the consumer basket in the years (2016 - 2018) furthermore, a comparison of the consumption of raw materials in the consumer basket with the consumption of the given raw material per person within the household consumption monitored by Czech Statistical Office. The theoretical part, in addition to information on the nutritional requirements for school children, describes the current official system of dietary control, based on the so-called consumer basket, which is based on established weight standards of individual food for appropriate age groups of children. The research group consisted of 773 pupils in the age range 6 - 15 years from a primary school in the Central Bohemian Region. The obtained data were processed graphically using basic statistical values.
