The aim of this study was to compare plant analogues of meat products with meat/meat products. The content of salt and other mineral elements (Fe, Ca, Zn, Mg and K) was evaluated. In addition, the salt content was compared with the salt content on the product packaging. The atomic absorption spectrometry method was used to analyze individual elements. The average salt content in samples of vegetable analogues of meat products ranged from 0.72 to 2.62 %. The salt content in the samples of meat/meat semi-products ranged from 0.14 to 2.55 %. The amount of salt content showed different variability due to the stated salt content on the product packaging. In the case of products that showed an amount of salt lower than indicated on the package, this variability is acceptable. The iron content of vegetable analogues of meat products ranged from 12.92 to 90.83 mg.kg-1. The highest iron content was determined in samples in which the producer stated that the products were enriched with iron. The result of the determination of iron was in accordance with the producer's declaration. The calcium content in the samples of vegetable analogues of meat products was in the range of 197.5–2726.67 mg.kg-1, zinc content 6.87–33.75 mg.kg-1, magnesium 209.60–1216.62 mg.kg-1 and potassium 0.08–0.66 %.
