Every Reading Matters
Track Them All in One Place
Critical control points are the moments that determine whether your cheese is safe. Curd Lab makes logging, reviewing, and acting on those readings simple and fast.
From Reading to Record in Seconds
CCP monitoring is built right into your batch workflow. No separate apps, no paper forms, no double entry.
Take Readings
Open your batch, go to the CCP section, and log your temperature, pH, or time reading. One tap. Done.
Instant Evaluation
As soon as you enter a reading, Curd Lab checks it against your critical limits. Green for safe, yellow for borderline, red for out of range.
Automatic Records
Every reading is timestamped and stored. Your CCP record builds itself as you work. No extra steps, no forgetting to write it down.
Common Control Points for Cheese Making
These are the key moments in your process where monitoring keeps your cheese safe. Curd Lab comes with templates you can customize.
Milk Receiving Temperature
Verify incoming milk temperature is within safe range. Catch issues before they enter your production process.
Pasteurization
Confirm your milk reaches the correct temperature for the required hold time. The most critical CCP in many cheese-making processes.
Acidification Rate
Track pH drop over time to make sure your cultures are working properly and the cheese reaches a safe acidity level.
Aging Conditions
Monitor cave or aging room temperature and humidity. Consistent conditions mean consistent, safe results.
When Things Go Sideways
A failed CCP reading doesn't have to mean panic. Curd Lab walks you through the corrective action process step by step.
Flag the deviation
When a reading falls outside your critical limits, Curd Lab flags it immediately. You see exactly which CCP failed and by how much.
Document what happened
Record what caused the deviation and what corrective action you took. Did you extend the hold time? Adjust the temperature? Discard the batch? It's all captured.
Learn and improve
Over time, your corrective action history shows patterns. Maybe your cave runs warm in summer or your cultures slow down with a particular milk source. Spot the trends and fix the root cause.
Your Compliance at a Glance
Every batch gets a compliance summary showing which CCPs passed, which needed corrective action, and whether your batch is fully compliant.
Pass Rate
See your overall CCP compliance percentage across all batches. Track improvement over time.
Response Time
Track how quickly you respond to deviations. Faster response means better outcomes.
Batch Status
Each batch gets a clear compliant or non-compliant status based on all its CCP readings.
Control Points Under Control
Stop worrying about whether you wrote down that temperature reading. Curd Lab tracks every CCP, flags every deviation, and keeps your compliance record complete.
