Abstract: The past decade was a period of intense development of the Polish food industry, which was primarily involved with Poland's accession to the European Union. There has been a large investment boom, and right after it a rise in the value of fixed assets of food industry enterprises. In addition, the value of sold production has increased and work productivity has increased. These were common phenomena and covered virtually all sectors of the food industry. The total investment value in the entire food industry in 2001-2014 amounted to approx. PLN 100.0 billion, and Polish food companies have become some of the most modern among the countries of the community. Companies in the food industry, that they can sell their products on the expanded EU market had to meet specific production standards, which was associated with the introduction of quality management systems and the safety of produced food. This process mainly involved obligatory quality management systems.
