3.3. Traceability level
A program level describes the product’s traceability level. RA/UTZ offers the following program/traceability levels:
Identity Preserved (IP): The identity of a certified producer/producer
group is maintained along the supply chain. The product can be traced all
the way back to the producer/producer group that it originates from.
A variation of the IP traceability level is Mixed Identity Preserved (MixIP).
Under this level, the product from multiple producers/producer groups is
mixed, but can be traced back to this group of producers/producer
groups. Requirements which apply to the IP traceability level also apply to
MixIP.
Segregation (SG): RA/UTZ certified product from different producers/producer groups is mixed. The product is guaranteed to be produced by RA/UTZ certified producers/producer groups, however the identity of the specific producers is lost.
