FDA's top inspector abruptly resigns

The Food and Drug Administration's top official overseeing drug and food safety inspections told staff on Monday he has decided to resign from the agency, and multiple federal health officials told CBS News it comes amid frustration from inspectors with the FDA's new commissioner.  

Michael Rogers had worked for the FDA for more than three decades, culminating in a role as the agency's associate commissioner for inspections and investigations. Colleagues said they were surprised to learn that his final day in the office will be May 14.

"I have decided to retire. It was my decision, but it was time after 34 years," Rogers told CBS News in an email on Monday.
