“My chickens would love this!”: Nutraloaf as an example of violating a convict’s right to receive a decent meal

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the current research findings relating to nutraloaf, a food product found in some prisons, e.g., in the United States. It can be served instead of one or every meal in order to reduce the costs of feeding prisoners or it can be used as disciplinary punishment. Nutraloaf contains a blend of the nutrients that make up a normal dish, but it does not have an appetizing taste. The article investigates whether serving nutraloaf would be an acceptable nutritional practice in the civil law system of European Union countries, especially Poland, in line with the binding provisions of international law and national standards. The article is based on an analysis of legal texts, judgments, scholarly research, and reports on the practice. The study takes into account the anthropological, sociological, and penal/executive perspective. Research on the psychology of food was also referred to.
