Best of British food for London 2012
A 'Food Vision' issued by The London 2012 Organising Committee has pledged to serve 'the best of British' food during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
It outlines plans to offer a wide range of food for all customers, with an estimated total of 14 million meals being served during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, across 40 locations. Included in the vision is the commitment that all dairy products, beef, lamb and poultry must be British. In addition, bananas, tea, coffee and sugar will be Fairtrade and traditional British cheese such as cheddar must be British.
Free drinking water will be available at all venues. The search for catering suppliers is now underway, with those chosen joining London 2012 commercial partners Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Cadbury, who will also be supplying food and drink and providing the only branded products on sale.
