Abstract
Fat content of 137 traditional meat products from Mediterranean and Continental part of Croatia was analysed. Consumption data were obtained on national representative sample of 2002 participants. Obtained results showed traditional meat products to vary in their fat content (10.90%- 52.50%), with significant differences (p<0.05) within same product group but not within regions. About 16% of the respondents were traditional meat products’ consumers, with an average consumption of 51.64 g/day (12.45g/day of fat). The lower portion of consumers was from Mediterranean region. Products most popular among consumers were bacon and dry-fermented sausages, which provide 5-10% recommended daily energy intake.
