# Dandelion Chocolate Chef's Chocolate 70% Camino Verde, Ecuador 2023 Harvest — 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)

Chef's Chocolate 70% Camino Verde, Ecuador 2023 Harvest by Dandelion Chocolate — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; Allergen-Free: Limited Public Support. These statuses reflect publicly available evidence only, not a review of the seller's own certificates or documents.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 14/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Shelf life: 2 years from factory production date Vegan gluten free nut free peanut free soy free Camino Verde, Ecuador”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim for this item, and the brand has publicly described its single-origin sourcing and bean-to-bar process, though those sources do not address gluten status for this specific bar. No independent gluten-free certification or product-level testing was retrieved in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so an ingredient check was not completed. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and does not require third-party certification, but the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten; for medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Our chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is allergen-free, and the product page describes it as free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten and made in a factory that does not process nuts; "allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition, so this claim is scoped to those specific allergens. TilliT did not retrieve an independent allergen-free certificate for this exact item or a batch-specific ingredient list, so no ingredient check was completed. The public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found and does not establish allergen-free status.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (soy-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 38/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Shelf life: 2 years from factory production date Vegan gluten free nut free peanut free soy free Camino Verde”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a vegan claim, and public evidence includes a certifier catalog listing at least one Dandelion product as certified, though this specific bar is not named. One independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim, and the available public evidence is brand-level and company-level rather than product- or batch-specific. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Vegan Action 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: 6 checks.

## 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.
