# Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood – Sunfood Superfoods — 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)

Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood – Sunfood Superfoods by The merchant — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: 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:** 45/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “QUALITY INGREDIENTS: Certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher, with no fillers, additives, preservatives”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free 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 brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Gluten-free rules differ by country: the US and EU allow the claim below 20 ppm (20 mg per kg) gluten, while Australia and New Zealand require no detectable gluten. None of them requires a third-party certification program. TilliT did not find independent public product-level testing or certification in the sources checked, so TilliT cannot independently confirm this claim today — that is a gap in public evidence, not a sign the label lacks legal support. For medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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:** “Claims free of: peanut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a "peanut free" claim, and the available ingredient statement and applicable evidence retrieved did not contradict it; batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. The brand's "About Us" page describes general sourcing standards and certifications but does not name this product or make an allergen-free claim about it, and "allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition in the US, so any claim must be scoped to specific allergens. The product page text also mentions milk and precautionary allergen language, which may warrant further verification for an allergen-free claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("Hormonal Balance 1 · Allergen Statement Packaged in a facility that also processes celery, mustard, sesame, and tree nuts Free of: Peanuts, Soy, Shellfish, Dairy Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood &ndash; Sunfood Superfoods…") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("Submit Get 20% Off Your privacy choices Allergen Statement Packaged in a facility that also processes celery, mustard, sesame, and tree nuts Free of: Peanuts, Soy, Shellfish, Dairy About Us Nourishing People Through the Power of Real Sup…") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 18/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Mixes Supergreens Supergreens & Protein Superlattes Organic Red & Green Nuts, Seeds, Snacks ▾ Brazil Nuts Cashews”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and 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. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. 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:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle checked CCOF's member directory but never attempted the USDA Organic Integrity Database (Organic INTEGRITY / USDA AMS Organic Certifiers & Operations search), the authoritative public registry for USDA-accredited certifier operations, which is the most direct public path to confirm whethe

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “CLEAN, QUALITY INGREDIENTS: Certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher, with no fillers, additives”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a non-GMO claim, and the brand's About Us page states that Sunfood prioritizes organic and non-GMO verified ingredients as a company standard, though it does not name this specific product. Public evidence retrieved is brand- and company-level; batch-specific evidence and an independent certifier record for this product were not retrieved in this assessment. The product page text also mentions apple and milk, which were not found in a structured ingredient list and may warrant further verification.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-24
- **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.
