Rachel Bond counsels domestic and international clients on regulatory compliance of food contact materials, as well as cosmetic and drug packaging materials, with the laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its foreign counterparts. With nearly two decades of regulatory experience, Rachel pairs innovative legal and sound scientific strategies to help her clients bring new products to market and achieve broadened markets for their products. She assists companies in obtaining food contact clearances for their products (such as polymers, additives, coatings, printing inks, and adhesives) in jurisdictions around the world, including the United States, Canada, South America, and the European Union (EU). Rachel also advises clients on ways to establish a suitable regulatory status for products for which explicit premarket approval is not necessary.

Rachel counsels clients on good manufacturing practice (GMP) issues and potential recalls, as well as advises on other regulatory schemes that impact packaging components, such as California’s Proposition 65 and similar state right-to-know laws. She also monitors and counsels clients on the growing number of legislative and regulatory initiatives impacting packaging, including state law restrictions on the use of PFAS and other chemical substances, minimum recycled content requirements, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws.

Rachel’s scientific background in biology provided the foundation for her highly technical legal career. Prior to attending law school and joining the firm, she worked in government relations and legislative affairs for a leading lobbying firm in Washington, DC, where she developed her extensive knowledge of policymaking.

Rachel is a contributing author to packaginglaw.com, as well as related industry publications, and is frequently invited to speak at food contact conferences.
