Rania Mehdi

I am a Moroccan Food Engineer and graduate of the Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Food Identity. I specialize in food quality, safety, and certification systems, with international academic and field experience across Europe and North Africa. My expertise covers Halal standards (HAS 23000 series), ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, HACCP, and official quality schemes such as AOP, IGP, and Label Rouge.

I recently joined Halal Quality Control (HQC) as a Technical Expert Auditor, where I contribute to audit preparation, training, and system evaluations for companies in the agri-food and cosmetic sectors. My role focuses on supporting organizations in achieving Halal compliance through traceability review, documentation analysis, and identification of critical control points.

I speak Arabic, French, and English fluently, and have an intermediate level in Italian and Turkish. I bring a multicultural and multidisciplinary approach to my work, combining scientific rigor with a strong understanding of cultural and religious values in food certification.
