The aim of this work was to determine the sensory properties of beef goulash (BG), pork ragout (PR), spam (SP), liver pate (LP), and meatballs in tomato sauce (MB), pro- duced by military recipes, and stored up to 6 years in tinplate cans. Dependence of the sensory properties on the storage period and on some trace elements content (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mn, Se, and Sn) was determined. Concentration of trace elements, measured by ICP-MS, was below the current allowable values, except for iron. Several samples showed Fe levels above the local legal limit of 30 mg/kg, with the mean values from 11.2 ± 1.4 mg/kg in PR to 40.9 ± 6.3 mg/kg in LP. The content of Sn increased with the length of storage, reaching a maximum of 4.82 mg/kg. Samples with a high concentration of Fe showed the lowest scores for sensory evaluation, with a pronounced metallic taste.
