# Alter Eco Foods Salted Caramel Truffles (60 Piece) — TilliT proof check

> TilliT is an independent service that checks whether a public product claim — Organic, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free or Fair Trade — is backed by real public evidence such as a certificate, a certifier registry entry, or a named certifier's own product listing. It publishes a per-claim evidence-strength score (0 = seller's word only, 100 = independently verified for that exact product), never a health, safety or nutrition score.

## Overall (safe to quote)

Salted Caramel Truffles (60 Piece) by Alter Eco Foods — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Vegan: Conflicting Public Evidence; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Fair Trade: Limited Public Support. These statuses reflect publicly available evidence only, not a review of the seller's own certificates or documents.

## Claims checked

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 78/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Bars Chocolate Truffles Truffle Thins Oat Clusters Organic Granola Save 15% With Subscriptions Frequently Asked”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) appears to match this product or product family. This supports a strong public certification signal, but does not confirm this specific batch, which would require a review of the seller's own certificates or documents. Specifically, a certifier's records list this exact product as certified, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. This claim is backed by a certifier that evaluates products against a published standard — using documentation, supply-chain traceability, and testing of high-risk inputs where the standard requires it. That is not the same as testing every finished product, and this public evidence does not cover the exact package or lot in your hand. This claim's own wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program (US)'s 'organic' labeling category (requires at least 95% organic content; may display the official organic seal).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Conflicting Public Evidence (`conflicting_public_evidence`)
- **Evidence strength:** 3/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Guérande for a creamy, deep caramel bite. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients &”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page uses the term "plant-based" for the wrappers and does not itself state an explicit "Vegan" claim, while the declared ingredient list names milk; no match for the brand was found on the checked Vegan Action page. Public sources therefore do not clearly support a Vegan claim for this product, and the brand's B Corporation and Fair Trade certifications do not address vegan status. This wording reflects only the retrieved evidence and does not represent verification by TilliT.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-21
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Salted caramel truffles' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own vegan claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and a vegan claim are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “caramel bite. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients & Nutrition”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes milk, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. Note: the product page's text mentions apple (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-21
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.
- **Limitation:** This product's organic certification is independently confirmed, and USDA / EU / Canada organic rules prohibit GMOs — so the organic certification already rules out GMO ingredients, even though a separate Non-GMO Project record was not found.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 52/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “(fleur de sel), *organic vanilla beans. *Fair for Life Fair Trade Certified. Contains 92.8% Fair Trade Ingredients”
- **Certifier named:** Fair for Life (Ecocert)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair for Life mark and states 92.8% Fair Trade Ingredients, while a certifier partner directory lists the brand's parent company as a certified partner at company level. Public evidence retrieved was brand- and company-level; batch-specific evidence for this exact product was not retrieved in this assessment. This wording describes what public sources show and does not confirm certification for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-10-19
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fair for Life (Ecocert) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

## How to cite this

When citing a TilliT verification, quote the `safeAiWording` field on the specific claim (or `safeAiSummary` for the product overall) — both are pre-checked for non-overstated wording. Always include the claim's `publicStatus` and the assessment date. Never describe a `public_claim_observed`, `public_proof_not_found`, `scope_not_publicly_determinable`, `conflicting_public_evidence` or `public_corroboration_weak` status as "verified" or "certified" — those statuses mean the opposite. Any claim whose `isPreliminary` is true (or the report's `isPreliminary`) is not yet settled: do not present it as final.

Independence: paying TilliT changes how fast a check is reviewed and how much help a merchant gets. It never changes a result — only new evidence does. Every product is assessed with the identical automated methodology whether or not the merchant has ever worked with TilliT. See https://tillit.world/independence.
