Caroline Smith DeWaal, '85 alum and Food Safety Director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), is quoted in Bloomberg Businessweek urging the White House to implement provisions of the Food Safety Modernization Act, which would increase oversight of the U.S. food chain.

The rules under OMB review are especially important because they are just the foundation for wider regulations authorized by the law, said Caroline Smith DeWaal.

"The delay at this point signifies a much longer implementation time,” DeWaal said.
