# 88 Acres Cookies and Cream Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) — 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)

Cookies and Cream Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) by 88 Acres — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Certification Match Found; Gluten-Free: Certification Match Found; 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 88/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our Seed + Oat Bars are certified gluten free! This certification ensures that those with gluten”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from GFCO 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 the product page displays a recognized certification mark. 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. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-07
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured GFCO 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.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “MADE IN OUR DEDICATED BAKERY FREE OF PEANUTS, TREE NUTS, GLUTEN, DAIRY, EGGS, SOY AND SESAME.”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the item is made in a dedicated bakery free of peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, and sesame, and a brand help article describes company-wide practices excluding those and other allergens, though that article does not name this specific product. Public evidence retrieved is brand-level, company-level, facility-level, and product-level, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The ingredient list includes oat, and because "allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition in the US, the claim is scoped to the specific allergens listed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-11
- **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:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Cookies & Cream' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own dairy-free/allergen-free claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and allergen labeling are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 79/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “flavor in an allergy-friendly, plant-based snack. Product labels: cookies-cream, Seed Bars, Subscription”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page uses "plant-based" rather than an explicit "Vegan" claim, and a public Vegan Action catalog record lists "88 Acres Sweet 'N' Creamy Cookies & Cream Seed + Oat Bar," an exact name match to this product. This publicly supports a product-level certification signal from a certifier that evaluates against a published standard, but it does not confirm the specific batch or lot in hand. No seller certificates or documents covering the exact package were retrieved.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-01-07
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Cookies & Cream' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own vegan claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and a vegan claim are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **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.
