# Dandelion Chocolate Cocoa Crudo — 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)

Cocoa Crudo 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.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “nut-free peanut-free gluten-free Cocoa Crudo”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays the seller's own gluten-free claim, and the public GFCO certified products page checked did not show a match for Dandelion Chocolate, so no third-party certification was found in the sources reviewed. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, but the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. Batch-specific public evidence and independent product-level testing were not retrieved in this assessment, so this reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a finding about the product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **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:** “nut-free peanut-free gluten-free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller's product page states the product is "vegan nut-free peanut-free gluten-free," and a brand help article describes two-ingredient chocolate and sourcing practices but does not name this product or address allergens. US law recognizes nine major allergens and provides no single regulatory definition for "allergen-free," so the claim is scoped to the specific allergens listed. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved, and this wording is not independent confirmation or third-party certification.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free, tree-nut-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:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “from direct sunlight. Weight: 56 g dairy-free vegan nut-free peanut-free gluten-free Cocoa Crudo Add to”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Vegan claim with limited public support. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing. Vegan Action's standard: Explicitly allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed, to avoid excluding otherwise animal-free products.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-05
- **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.
