US dismisses food safety qualms

US Olympic Committee (USOC) officials have full confidence in the food being supplied for the Beijing Olympics and will have their athletes follow the same meal plan they've used for the past two Games.

"We have absolutely no concerns about the quality and safety of the food that will be served in the village," committee spokesman Darryl Seibel said.

"The food in the village will be outstanding, and that will be the primary dining venue for our athletes, as it is at every Games."
