In order to find out actual conditions of group feeding, such as facility sanitation and nutritional intake, in various factories and business firms in Seoul city, Kyong gi-Do, and Choonchung-Do Provinces in Korea, this study was conducted through surveys and results were obtained as follows, 1. There were 776 employees being fed on the average in a firm.
Each of the 73 Firms or factories has only one nutritionist regardless of the number of workers to be fed or the frequency of meals to be served. Also the average number of cooks comes to 1. 2 per 100 workers even though 73.5%0 of the firms provided meals more than three times a day. Therefore, it is easily understood why the nutritionists and the cooks were overworked.
2. The average cost amounted to 194 won per meal per person, of which 51. 6 won is paid by the workers themselves and 142.4 won by the companies involved.
3. The average food intake has been found to be 446.6 grams which can be further´ broken down into 43.4 grams of meat and 403.2 grams of vegetables.
4. The survey also shows the daily calorie intake per person to be as high as 915. 8 kcal, including 30. 7 grams of protein which is further broken down into 7. 6 grams of animal protein and 23. 1 grams of vegetable protein. With respect to other types of nutrients except for vitamin A, the companies concerned are believed to provide more than the amount recommended by Korea FAO association as desirable.
