HACCP Food Safety

Food Safety That
Works With You, Not Against You

HACCP plans don't have to feel like paperwork. Curd Lab builds food safety right into your cheese-making workflow so you stay compliant without breaking your rhythm.

Safety Is Part of the Craft

Whether you sell at the farmers market or make cheese for your family, food safety matters. HACCP gives you a framework to do it right.

Identify Hazards

Walk through your production process step by step. Flag biological, chemical, and physical hazards that could affect your cheese.

Examples: Pathogen growth during aging, chemical residues in milk, foreign objects during pressing

Set Critical Limits

Define the temperature, pH, and time boundaries that keep your cheese safe. Curd Lab tracks these against your actual batch readings.

Examples: Pasteurization at 72C for 15 seconds, pH below 5.3 within 5 hours

Monitor and Record

Log your readings as you go. Every temperature check, every pH reading, every visual inspection gets recorded with timestamps.

Examples: Milk receiving temps, curd pH during acidification, aging cave humidity

Built Around the Seven HACCP Principles

Curd Lab follows the internationally recognized HACCP framework. Each principle maps to tools you can use during your actual production.

1

Hazard Analysis

Review each step of your recipe and flag potential biological, chemical, or physical hazards that could affect your product.

2

Critical Control Points

Identify the steps where control is essential to prevent, eliminate, or reduce hazards to acceptable levels.

3

Critical Limits

Set measurable boundaries for each CCP. Temperature ranges, pH thresholds, time limits that your process must meet.

4

Monitoring Procedures

Define how and when you check each CCP. Curd Lab prompts you to take readings at the right moments during your batch.

5

Corrective Actions

When a reading falls outside limits, Curd Lab guides you through documenting what happened and what you did about it.

6

Verification

Confirm your HACCP plan works. Review compliance summaries, spot trends in your data, and make sure your controls are effective.

7

Record-Keeping

Every reading, every corrective action, every verification is automatically saved. Export complete HACCP documentation whenever you need it.

Food Safety That Fits Your Workflow

Most HACCP tools are built for large factories. Ours is built for people who actually make cheese by hand.

Integrated with your batches

CCP monitoring lives inside your batch record. No separate forms, no duplicate data entry. Take a reading and it goes straight into your batch log and your HACCP record at the same time.

Clear pass/fail indicators

Green means safe. Red means action needed. You see at a glance whether your batch meets every critical limit. No guessing, no mental math.

Built for artisan scale

You don't need an enterprise food safety system. You need something that works in your kitchen, your garage, your cave. Curd Lab keeps it practical.

Inspector-ready exports

When the health department asks for your records, export clean, organized HACCP logs, CCP monitoring data, and corrective action reports. All timestamped, all complete.

Safe Cheese Is Good Cheese

Build your HACCP plan, monitor your critical control points, and keep your records organized. Food safety shouldn't be an afterthought. Make it part of every batch.
