What this sheet is for

Lead any pack back to the meat, the supplier and the cure it came from, and show the batch was made the way your own recipe sets.

Who it is for

Small butchers, charcuterie makers and farm shops making sausage and cured meat for sale.

How to use it

  1. Start a fresh sheet for each batch and give it a batch number.
  2. List every ingredient, casing and cure component with the supplier's lot or kill number as it is weighed in.
  3. Fill in the process line from your own recipe sheet — cure used, dates, the loss you were aiming for and the loss achieved.
  4. Record the lot code that went on the pack.
  5. Add a row to the bottom table every time part of the batch leaves.

Questions

Why is there no cure quantity or curing time on the sheet?

Because those are your recipe, and the amount of cure that may be used is set by the rules where you trade. The sheet has blanks for what you used and how long it took, labelled as yours, so the record shows your process was followed.

Can it be used for a fresh sausage batch with no cure?

Yes — leave the cure line blank and use the ingredient table and the weights. The traceability is the same either way.
