<p>In December 2008 the municipal council in Nybro, decided that the municipality should</p><p>reduce the budget for food service. The budget should be reduced by 2 100 000 SEK.</p><p>They decided that the children- and education committee, and the care committee would have</p><p>to lower their budget with 1 264 000 SEK respectively 636 000 SEK. The change have to be</p><p>done under two years, 60 % should be done under 2009 and 40 % under 2010.</p><p>As a result of the decision, many kitchens have to become kitchens that only serve food, not</p><p>cook it. This will result in preschool staff and nursing staff take over some of the tasks from</p><p>the kitchen staff. The municipal council also decided that entrepreneurs could take over one</p><p>(later two) cooking areas.</p><p>A kitchen that serves food means that there isn’t any cooking involved. The staff receives the</p><p>food in thermal bags or thermal cabinets from a kitchen that makes the meals. This system</p><p>involved more transportation, witch means that the food has to be warm for a longer time.</p><p>The purpose of this project is to examine if and how the nutrient quality affects of the changes</p><p>in the budget of food service in Nybro kommun.</p><p>In this project the temperature measurements has been done on lunches that were distributed</p><p>to elderly people in ordinary housing, preschools and group housing.</p><p>This was to see if the food retained the temperature recommendations from Livsmedelsverket</p><p>(Food Administration). The measurements showed a difference between the two kitchens that</p><p>makes the food.</p><p>Since the food is being warm for a long time it’s interesting to see how much of the nutrients</p><p>are left, when the food is eventually eaten. Four samples of potatoes has been collected and</p><p>analysed for vitamin-C and vitamin B1. The results showed a reduction of vitamin-C, but</p><p>vitamin B1 was stable.</p><p>When one of the cooking areas may be opened for entrepreneurs, the council need to have a</p><p>“Food policy”. A food policy is a document which sets the boundary of the food quality.</p><p>In this project there is a compilation of several food policies in Sweden, to get some common</p><p>points. “Environmental sustainable development” and “special diet” are some of the points</p><p>that are common in the food policy.</p>
