# Alter Eco Foods Superdark Truffles — 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)

Superdark Truffles by Alter Eco Foods — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Gluten-Free: Certification Match Found; 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

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 73/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten-Free"”
- **Certifier named:** Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) 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 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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 73/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “icon-X 80% Cacao | Superdark Organic Dark Chocolate Truffles | Alter Eco Back to top The”
- **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:** 2026-12-04
- **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.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 49/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “flavors, *organic vanilla beans. *Fair Trade Certified™ by Fair Trade USA, total 99.4% Fair Trade Ingredients”
- **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade Certified™ mark and states 99.4% Fair Trade Ingredients, and the brand's about page describes small-scale fair trade farmers and fair working standards in its cocoa supply chain. Public evidence located was brand- and company-level, including a certifier listing the company as certified; batch- or product-specific certification evidence was not retrieved in this assessment, and a search of the named certifier's public site did not return a match for the company. Fair-trade certification can apply to specific ingredients under mass balance rather than the whole product, and independent research notes general limits on premium tracking below the cooperative or plantation level.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** The fair-trade mark shown on this product is Fair Trade USA, but the only registry TilliT can search for this claim is Fairtrade International — a different, separately-run certification scheme. This scheme publishes no searchable public directory, so its certification can't be confirmed or ruled out from public data.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder) 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.
