Do you have a passion for science and a knack for navigating the ever-changing maze of regulations? At Utz Quality Foods, we’re looking for a Regulatory Scientist who thrives at the intersection of innovation and compliance. This role ensures our products not only excite customers but also meet the gold standard of safety, quality, and regulatory approval.
