Food Head at FDA Resigns, Citing Numerous Job Cuts in Division
By and Deena Shanker Save Jim Jones, the head of the food division at the US Food and Drug Administration who oversaw the agency's banning of the food dye Red No. 3 earlier this year, stepped down on Monday, citing widespread cuts across the agency that he said will make it hard to implement the types of changes the Trump administration is seeking, according to a document viewed by Bloomberg News. 'I was looking forward to working to pursue the department's agenda of improving the health of Americans by reducing diet-related chronic disease and risks from chemicals in food,' he said in a resignation letter to Acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner. Jones said that given the new administration's 'disdain for the very people' needed to make these changes, it would be 'fruitless for me to continue in this role.'
