المستخلص: This study was conducted on twenty (20) classes consisting of 445 grade 6 and 7 primary school pupils drawn from five (5) public schools in Al-Zawiyya City, Libya. The main objective was to assess the nutritional quality of some of the traditional meals offered to the pupils at the schools as well as the hygienic and safety standards in meal preparation in the schools’ cafeteria. Data on the nutritional status of the pupils were obtained directly from their parents through a carefully designed questionnaire consisting of a number of questions posed to the parents; while the quality characteristics of the meals served at the schools’ cafeteria were gathered through visits to and interaction with the cafeteria staff and by proximate analysis of the popular traditional meal samples namely aIbazeen, couscous bel- khdra , macaroni ambakabaka, reshda ambakabaka, macaroni belsalsah, ruz belbaslah , tobeekha bazeelaa , shakshouka, mhachi (velvl ,oureih), alzumaith and albasisa, for fat, protein, ash, moisture and carbohydrate contents. Proximate analysis results of each of these meals indicate the percent fat and protein contents to be respectively as: a Ibazeen (3.50 and 7.62); couscous bel-khdra (8.74 and 7.22); macaroni ambcabach (4.30 and 5.00); macaronibelsalsah{5.30 and 5.50); ruz belbaslah (8.25 and 4.68); tobekha basilaa (7.30 and 8.73); shakshouka (14.50 and 5.80); alzumaita (21.30 and 6.85) and aIbasisa (20.50 and 5.95). Also, the results of the analysis of the questionnaire indicate that 60.22 % of the pupils do not take breakfast at home before going to their schools; 63.82% of the pupils prefer to purchase their breakfast from the schools’ cafeteria to bringing it from their homes, whereas 26.97% of the pupils exhibited signs of leanness and general body weakness with many of them suffering from dental caries. The results of the assessment of the extent of observation of both hygienic and safety standards during meal preparations and servings at the schools’ cafeteria showed that 60.00% of the schools’ cafeteria lacked the hygienic standard and food quality requirements of school meals. And it was observed that 100% of all the schools’ cafeteria staff did not have any health certificate to certify their freedom from any contagious or communicable diseases.
