Caroline Smith DeWaal has left the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) for a new position at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Her last day at CSPI was Thursday.
DeWaal, who served as CSPI’s director of food safety for 21 years, will join FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition on Monday as the international food safety policy manager. Her new job will focus on developing systems for improving the safety of imported foods. She has been doing the international component of CSPI’s work for several years while also managing the non-profit’s staff working on domestic food safety.
