Products

For coffee, there is one labeling claim option: the content claim.
Content claims for coffee
5.2
A content claim states that the coffee in the product is UTZ
certified and is physically
processed into the final product. A content claim can be made if the manufacturer makes use
of the traceability model of Segregation or Identity Preserved. The content claim applies to
fully certified products (90%

When to use which labeling logo
5.3
Members who are eligible to use the ‘full’ UTZ labeling logo (with or without pay-off) may
choose to use the UTZ labeling
‘Coffee’ logo. This is not possible the other way around.
Where to place the logo
5.4
The logo can be placed on the front, back or side of the packaging. When using the flag only
or the coffee logo front of pack, it is possible to use an additional logo with
pay off or the flag
only logo next to the claim elsewhere on the packaging.

A limited amount of mixing (representing no more than 10% of the volume of the UTZ product) may occur.

Retailers and brands selling UTZ certified products can share the story behind their products by launching an
online tracer. Consumers can use the tracer to trace the products back to their origin. Tracers are only
available for products where the Identity Preserved traceability model is used for.
