# Carrington Farms Organic Flax Cooking Oil — 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)

Organic Flax Cooking Oil by Carrington Farms — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-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:** “Product tag: "Gluten Free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Gluten Free" tag, and the brand's public materials describe its mission and product lines but contain no statement about this item's gluten status. No independent product-level gluten-free certification or testing was retrieved in the sources checked, including the GFCO certified products page, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), the claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, though 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:** 2026-11-28
- **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.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the major gluten-free certifier registries beyond GFCO (e.g. NSF, SCS, BRCGS, GFCP, or national celiac societies) has been attempted, and one of these could yield a certifier match that the GFCO-only search would miss.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 24/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “the kitchen with Carrington Farms Organic Flax Cooking Oil, cold pressed for a fresh, mild nutty”
- **Certifier named:** QAI
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and the supporting evidence is about this brand, not this specific product. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, ingredient-level. Product-specific and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. 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:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** This claim's own wording scopes it to a specific ingredient, not the whole product — organic / fair-trade certification can apply to one ingredient without the finished product itself being certified, and the page shows no whole-product certification (no seal, no "certified organic" statement).
- **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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Plant Based"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays the tag "Plant Based" rather than an explicit "Vegan" claim, and the brand's public "About Us" page describes its mission and sustainability pledge without addressing the vegan status of this specific product. No match for the brand was found in the fetchable text of the Vegan Action (vegan.org) page, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. "Vegan" is not defined by US food regulation, and certifier programs define their own criteria; this wording describes only the public evidence found and not retrieved.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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: 6 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Non-GMO"”
- **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. Separately, the product page's text mentions flax — the Non-GMO Project's own Monitored-Risk list (a real but lower signal than its High-Risk list, per the Project's own standard), included here for shoppers who want it, not as a contradiction of this claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-25
- **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: 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.
