Where salumi makers start
Food safety and traceability
HACCP records kept as you work
Weights, pH, water activity and room readings logged against each batch, so your HACCP records are complete before the inspector asks.
- Critical control points per batch
- Room temperature and humidity logs
- Lot traceability to the hog
Inventory
Know what is ready in the drying room
Batches tracked from hang date to target weight loss, so only finished salami reaches the store and wholesale accounts.
- Batches by hang date
- Weight loss against target
- Released lots only on sale
Shipping
Ship whole and sliced the right way
A packaging spec per product: whole dry-cured salami in a standard box, sliced and fresh items with cold packs and early-week ship days.
- Spec per product type
- Cold pack rules for sliced and fresh
- Discounted labels
Wholesale ordering
Cheese shops and restaurants reorder
Case pricing for shops and chubs for restaurants in a portal, with released lots only and statements on terms.

Questions
Do salumi makers need a HACCP plan?
In the US, meat products made for sale are usually regulated by USDA FSIS, and inspected establishments need a HACCP plan with records for each batch. For dry-cured products that often includes weight loss, pH and water activity.
How do I track weight loss in a drying room?
Weigh each batch at hanging and on a schedule, record it against the batch, and flag it when it reaches the target set in your plan. Software does the math and keeps the record.
Does dry-cured salami need to ship cold?
Whole, shelf-stable dry-cured products often ship without ice. Sliced, fresh and semi-dry items need cold packs. Follow your label and your HACCP plan.
Can I sell my charcuterie on Madeline's?
Yes. Madeline's lists independent salumi and charcuterie makers on commission, and you ship your own boxes.
