BEIJING (AP) - Awash in food safety problems, China says athletes, coaches, officials, and others at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games can be assured of secure meals.
Organizers are also taking measures to ensure food is free of substances that could trigger a positive result in tests for banned performance enhancing drugs. Many of Chinese recent food safety problems have been tied to the purity of ingredients and additives.
"All the procedures involving Olympic food, including production, processing, packaging, storing and transporting will be closely monitored," Sun Wenxu, an official with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, told reporters Tuesday.
