Abstract: This paper presents total phosphorus content expressed as P2O5 in 1657 analyzed samples of poultry meat products and slaughtered animals meat products. The samples of meat products from domestic producers and from import were analyzed during the period from January to December 2006. The lowest average phosphorus content was found in the meat paste from poultry and the slaughter animals meat, from domestic producers (1.96 g/kg and 2.13 g/kg). The highest average phosphorus content was determined in ham type products (5.98 g/kg) and smoked meat products, both from imported poultry meat. Out of total number of analyzed samples, in only 30 samples, determined total phosphorus content was higher than values allowed by the Regulations (7.0 g/kg), of which 14 samples were poultry meat products (0.84 percent) and 16 samples of slaughtered animals meat products (0.96 percent). .
