IMS criticises lack of protein at Paris Olympics

Meatmanagement.com - July 29, 2024

As the Olympics kick off in Paris, there have been reports of a lack of adequate proteins in the Olympic Village, with foods like eggs and meats being rationed.

The International Meat Secretariat (IMS) has criticized the Paris Olympics Committee for a “lack of adequate proteins” available at this year’s Games, as reports of Team GB accessing food externally have arisen.

Organizers of the Olympics had previously announced a “focus on sustainability”, with a third of all food at the Olympic Village planned to be plant-based. All meat, eggs and milk were sourced from France, while 25% of all ingredients were to be sourced within a 250km radius from Paris and 30% were to be organic. The Olympics committee said that 80% of the total food provided would be of French origin.
