Food has become a major issue in the Olympic Village as the Paris Games are underway. Adequate food supply and uncooked meat are among the concerns.

Grilled chicken and eggs, in particular, are among the items in short supply. As a result, some athletes have resorted to bringing packed meals back to the Village for lunch and dinner, according to the Times of London.

British athletes are staying away from the restaurants in the residential complex and officials have sent an extra chef to Paris to provide proper meals for the team. Caterers are working to increase their food orders — especially in regards to eggs and chicken, which Paris Olympics officials wanted to source from France.
