Consuming various and well balanced food is the key to a healthy and long life. The school age is a time in which children acquire eating habits that are greatly influenced by school meals. Improving the quality of school meals can have a positive effect on student growth and development. The aim of this paper was to determine what food offered to children in primary schools in Koprivničko– križevačka County and do they match the " National guidelines for the nutrition of students in primary schools". The research was conducted within twenty-four primary schools in Koprivničko– križevačka County and it focused on school kitchen menus intended for students in grades 1 through 4, that is, children aged from 7 to 10. The primary schools that are founded by Koprivničko– križevačka County (18 of them) have the same school menus. The reason for this is a project called „Smart Meal for Smart Kids“ whose goal is to provide every primary school child healthy, good quality and nutritionally valuable meals and encourage adopting healthy eating habits. The other 6 schools should be involved in the mentioned project to improve their school menus. Within this thesis it is shown that all schools in Koprivničko– križevačka County need to improve their school menus.
