# Koia Chocolate Peanut Butter — 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. ## Product - **Brand:** Koia - **Product:** Chocolate Peanut Butter - **GTIN:** 20854092006273 - **Sold at:** drinkkoia.com - **Product page:** https://drinkkoia.com/products/chocolate-peanut-butter-protein-shake - **Assessment ID:** pta_196c8139c9e34ac3b37f6db672aba9ff - **Assessed:** 2026-10-27 - **Last reviewed:** n/a - **Review mode:** Not final · review pending ⚠️ At least one claim here is **preliminary** — a person is still reviewing it; see the per-claim status. - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.4 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_196c8139c9e34ac3b37f6db672aba9ff ## Overall (safe to quote) Chocolate Peanut Butter by Koia — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: 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:** “pea, and chickpea proteins – no dairy, no gluten, no soy, vegan, kosher & non-GMO. Gut Healthy” - **Safe citation wording:** Public sources show a gluten-free claim on the product page and "Gluten-Free" listed among general label attributes for the brand's lineup, but the brand FAQ does not mention gluten and no Koia match was found on the GFCO certified products page checked. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, though the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. Independent public product-level testing or certification was not retrieved in this assessment, so the claim is not independently confirmed here — a gap in public evidence rather than a finding against the label. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks. - **Limitation:** Self-review note: Only GFCO's certified-products page was checked; no other major gluten-free certifier registry (e.g. NSF, SCS, CSA, GIG, Coeliac UK) was searched for this brand, leaving the certifier-match path incompletely explored. ### Allergen-Free - **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`) - **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, soy free” - **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Claim supported. This kind of Allergen-Free claim can be made in the US without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is not a statement that the product is third-party certified. The public-evidence score describes how much independent proof was found; it does not mean the product is not Allergen-Free. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes peanut, tree nut, almond, which may warrant further verification for a Allergen-Free claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-free, 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:** 9/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Plant-based"” - **Safe citation wording:** Claim supported. This kind of Vegan claim can be made in the US without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is not a statement that the product is third-party certified. The public-evidence score describes how much independent proof was found; it does not mean the product is not Vegan. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the product page did not use the word "Vegan" itself — this assessment was triggered by a related but distinct term (e.g. "plant-based"), not an explicit Vegan claim. Note: the ingredient list includes lecithin, natural flavor, sugar, which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **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:** “NON GMO IN RETAIL STORES protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Get” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Separately, the ingredient list includes peanut, pea, rice — 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. Non-GMO is accurate for this product, but none of its listed ingredients (e.g. corn, soy, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, papaya, eggplant, pineapple, zucchini, potato, or animal-derived inputs such as meat, dairy, or egg) are among the crop types or inputs with a commercially available genetically modified/GMO-fed counterpart (TilliT uses the US list, which approves more such crops than most markets) — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks. ## Not claimed on this page Organic, Fair Trade. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_196c8139c9e34ac3b37f6db672aba9ff - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_196c8139c9e34ac3b37f6db672aba9ff/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_196c8139c9e34ac3b37f6db672aba9ff/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_196c8139c9e34ac3b37f6db672aba9ff/history ## 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.
