Olympic workers were banned from eating chips in their canteen because they were not made by official sponsor McDonald's.
The bizarre rule sparked outrage among builders at the Olympic Park and led to heated confrontations with kitchen staff.
McDonald's holds exclusive rights to sell chips at venues. The only exception allowing 'unbranded' chips is if they are served in a meal with fish.
Last night, after they were contacted by the Mail, Olympics bosses agreed to relax the rules for workers but visitors to the Games must still buy fish with their chips or visit one of the four on-site McDonald's restaurants.
