The State Administration for Industry and Commerce and other departments recently announced that all food supplied to the Beijing Olympic Games should be uniformly labeled with electronic labels. As long as you scan the electronic label, you can find the place of origin, production standard, output, batch and so on. Continuously monitor Olympic food from the source to the table. It is the basic requirement of Beijing Olympic food to ensure that athletes participating in the 2008 Olympic Games can eat safely. But what will you eat in restaurants in Beijing Olympic Village? This is another food topic that everyone is most concerned about besides Olympic food safety.

"Combination of Chinese and Western" * * Spectrum Menu

Although the number of dishes in the Olympic menu is still uncertain, the principle is to keep it for 7 days. Xiang Ping, Vice Minister of BOCOG Games Service Department, said when visiting BOCOG's official website: Olympic recipes should not only meet the needs of athletes in terms of calories and nutrition, but also conform to their religious habits and dietary tastes. It is predicted that the catering needs of 270,000 registered personnel from 202 countries and regions will be met during the Beijing Olympic Games. In addition, catering services will be provided for 7 million tourists. Although most athletes come from Europe and America, they also hope to embody the Chinese nation's food culture and let them enjoy China's delicious food. Therefore, the Beijing Olympic Village will be dominated by western food, supplemented by Chinese food.

At present, BOCOG has identified a catering service provider through bidding. The supplier has provided catering services for several Olympic Games, with more than10 million people, and has rich experience in catering services for the Olympic Games. BOCOG will draw lessons from previous Olympic Games and work with catering suppliers to draw up the Olympic menu. After the menu is designed, a special expert group will be set up to evaluate and try the meal. Experts will analyze the ingredients of the menu and judge the color, smell and taste. This menu will be submitted to the IOC for approval after layers of evaluation. The menu made through so many procedures is believed to occupy an important page in the long history of China's diet, which is of milestone significance to the development of China's diet.

Chinese food in the Olympic canteen smells good.

Through the Olympic Games, Korean bibimbap and Japanese sushi have all gone to the world. How about Chinese food? At present, Olympic recipes are under repeated consideration. It is understood that 1000 Chinese dishes have been recommended to the Olympic Organizing Committee.

Although Chinese food only accounts for 30% of the Olympic recipes, experts pay as much attention to food safety as 70% of western food. Because Chinese food is too complicated, the materials are complicated and there are many auxiliary materials. The more materials are used, the more unsafe factors are hidden, and the greater the possibility of problems. But complexity and exquisiteness are the charm of Chinese food. At the same time, China food is facing great challenges and opportunities.

In addition, in order to make China food quickly accepted and understood by athletes, coaches and officials all over the world, experts have to do a lot of work other than food safety, such as translating the names of dishes. Many dish names are translated by explanation, such as goo goo meat, which is literally translated as "sweet and sour chicken", followed by pinyin and pictures. "This is for foreign friends to see, eat and take away." He said. Although we don't know which Chinese food can enter the Olympic menu, it must be the one that best reflects the characteristics of China.
