Hani Mansour M. Al-Mazeedi (born 1954) is a Kuwaiti scientist who specializes in Halal requirements, quality and Safety systems for food (HACCP/Pre-requiste programs such as GMP & GHP) and Halal services for the Halal Industry.[1]

Mazeedi, through Kuwait government (Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research) and GSO (Gulf Standard Organization) of the GCC Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, organized the first gulf conference on the Halal Industry and its Services in January 2011.

Work and interests

Mazeedi with Amjad Mahboob in Australia in 1981

Mazeedi has 30 years of continuous work in food quality, especially in the field of Halal. Much of his research has involved Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) in addition to related systems such as Good Health Practices (GHP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and programs to formulate the basis for food inspection. He was the first "General Controller of Food Import" for Kuwait City. He was also the first food inspector with a qualified degree in food manufacturing earned at an American university.[1]

In 1996 he introduced The "McHalal" system for McDonald's, but it was not implemented.[2] In 2009, he was given The Halal Award 2009 by The Halal Journal of Malaysia for his personal achievements in servicing Halal for the food industry.[3][4][5]

Books

He has published two books in Arabic, beginning with Concepts on Food Hygiene (1998). The second was Practical Guide to Food Safety (2002).[6] This book focused on HACCP and related food safety systems.
