Caroline Smith DeWaal, '85 alum and Food Safety Director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), was quoted in The Huffington Post on implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act.

"This law was the first modernization of food safety laws in about 70 years," said Caroline Smith DeWaal. "It impacts 80 percent of the foods that consumers purchase -- essentially all foods except those containing meat or poultry are covered under this act."

Yet, nearly two years after its passage, none of these four major regulations have even been released in provisional form -- despite the fact that FSMA set Jan. 4, 2012 as the deadline for that release.
