# Natures Path Love Crunch Organic Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Granola — 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.

Love Crunch Organic Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Granola by Natures Path — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Fair Trade: Limited Public Support.

## Claims checked

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 78/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Back to Results Best Seller Love Crunch Organic Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Granola 4.8 132 reviews”
- **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:** 2026-12-05
- **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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan"”
- **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. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. 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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “and decadent dark chocolate chunks. Organic and non-GMO, it' ... see more You'll love this delicious combination”
- **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. Note: the ingredient list includes soy, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. Separately, the ingredient list includes oat, peanut — 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.
- **Limitation:** This product's organic certification is independently confirmed, and USDA / EU / Canada organic rules prohibit GMOs — so the organic certification already rules out GMO ingredients, even though a separate Non-GMO Project record was not found.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 40/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Fair Trade"”
- **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Fair Trade" tag, and a certifier's public registry lists Nature's Path Foods, Inc. as certified at the company level for commodities such as cocoa and cane sugar, but this listing does not confirm certification for this specific product. Public evidence retrieved is brand- and company-level, and batch-specific or product-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Fair-trade certification may apply to individual ingredients rather than the whole product, and independent research notes general limits on premium tracking below the cooperative or producer level.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 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.
