The Mediterranean diet is well known for its health-promoting effects. Among its key ingredients, olive oil is the most characteristic. Processing industries have been successfully manufacturing and marketing jarred baby foods with the use of vegetable oils, including olive oil, as well as other sources of visible fat. We aimed to survey manufacturer claims concerning added fat in jarred infant foods supplied to the Polish market. A total of 124 kinds of infant foods from six suppliers were analyzed. Corn, canola, and soybean oil occupied the first three positions, respectively, in rank order of vegetable oils used in jarred baby foods. In our sample, only one type of ready-to-eat jars with vegetables contained olive oil. 11% of products contained cow milk butter or cream. 61% of jarred "dinners" contained poultry or fish, which are typical sources of animal protein in the Mediterranean diet. Given that commercial baby foods currently available in the Polish market contain no olive oil, we advocate considering home preparation of infant foods with the use of visible fat. Medical professionals should encourage food manufacturers to return to the concepts of the Mediterranean diet for young consumers, aimed at long-term health.
地中海饮食因其促进健康的功效而闻名。在其关键成分中，橄榄油最具特色。加工行业已成功生产和销售以植物油（包括橄榄油）以及其他可见脂肪来源为原料的罐装婴儿食品。我们旨在调查波兰市场上供应的罐装婴儿食品中有关添加脂肪的制造商声明。共分析了来自六个供应商的124种婴儿食品。在罐装婴儿食品中使用的植物油排名中，玉米油、菜籽油和大豆油分别位居前三。在我们的样本中，只有一种即食蔬菜罐装有橄榄油。11%的产品含有牛奶黄油或奶油。61%的罐装“晚餐”含有家禽或鱼类，它们是地中海饮食中典型的动物蛋白来源。鉴于波兰市场目前在售的商业婴儿食品不含橄榄油，我们提倡考虑在家用可见脂肪制作婴儿食品。医学专业人员应鼓励食品制造商回归针对年轻消费者的地中海饮食理念，以实现长期健康。
