Mary Rait brings decades of experience to BBG as our Director of Compliance, where she manages the compliance team’s strategic regulatory and compliance services. Mary oversees a team that delivers on-demand compliance services to food and beverage companies that comes in on-time and on-budget.

Mary knows how to get spirits, malt beverages, hard ciders, wines, and hard seltzers to market quickly and efficiently. She advises on TTB and FDA regulations on product packaging and labeling, formula compliance, including technical reviews of raw material specification and food additives, advertising and marketing beer, wine and spirits, and executing complex licensing strategies to comply with fast-paced corporate M&A requirements and operational growth.

Mary’s prior role leading the Government Affairs and Regulatory Compliance Department of Craft Brew Alliance gives her the in-house perspective that makes BBG different. Mary used her unique background in manufacturing, policy, food science, and compliance to design and execute the company’s effort to bring gluten-reduced beers to market working with regulatory agencies, scientists, suppliers, congressional representatives, and company subject matter experts.
