Summary
In short
- A ccp monitoring log is a log used in KnowQuality that records readings at a critical control point, such as cook temperature, chill time or metal detection. It is built against Codex, FSMA and forms part of the HACCP and Food Safety programme.
- Completed at the frequency the HACCP plan sets. Carried out by the operator.
- The template holds 44 fields across 4 sections, with readings repeating for each entry.
- Scoring is within limits percent, where high is good.
- FSMA is food Safety Modernization Act. Preventive controls, supplier verification, sanitary transport and intentional adulteration rules.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links HACCP Plan; feeds Hold.

When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This log is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this log covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form CCP-2026-000
- You are running the HACCP and Food Safety programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links haccp plan; feeds hold
Not for
- HACCP Plan, which the hazard analysis and critical control point plan for a product or process.
- HACCP Verification Record, which confirms the HACCP plan is being followed and still works.
- Prerequisite Programme Plan, which sets out the basic conditions that must be in place for HACCP to work, covering hygiene, maintenance, pest control and training.
- Anything outside KnowQuality, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

Frequently asked questions
What is the ccp monitoring log template based on?+
It is built against Codex, FSMA. FSMA is food Safety Modernization Act. Preventive controls, supplier verification, sanitary transport and intentional adulteration rules. Codex is codex Alimentarius. International food standards and the source of the seven HACCP principles.
What sections does the ccp monitoring log contain?+
There are 4 sections: header, readings, shift summary, verification. Together they hold 44 fields, 31 of which are required.
How often is a ccp monitoring log raised?+
A new record is raised continuously, as entries occur. Each one is given an ID in the form CCP-2026-000, so it can be traced and referenced from other records.
Which programme does the ccp monitoring log belong to?+
It is part of HACCP and Food Safety. A HACCP system an auditor can follow from hazard to record without asking a single question.
How is a ccp monitoring log scored?+
Scoring is within limits percent. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the ccp monitoring log template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the ccp monitoring log library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowQuality — quality and food safety. HACCP, nonconformance, traceability, laboratory and customer complaints.
