Abstract

The aim of the Fast Food project was to determine not only the salt content but also total fat and trans-fatty acids (TFA) content of a selected range of products available in fast food chains all over the Czech Republic. The results show that regular consumption of products from fast food chains may contribute to an increase in the intake of fat and salt, whose excess is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and other negative effects on consumers' health. The knowledge obtained can be helpful in the creation of prevention programmes targeted at specific groups of frequent fast food restaurant goers (students, children, etc.).
