# Catalina Crunch Vanilla Almond 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. ## Product - **Brand:** Catalina Crunch - **Product:** Vanilla Almond Granola - **GTIN:** 850044112937 - **Sold at:** us.catalinacrunch.com - **Product page:** https://us.catalinacrunch.com/products/vanilla-almond-granola - **Assessment ID:** pta_26d6a2bf26724c12b032481b7f077bd5 - **Assessed:** 2026-10-19 - **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-19 - **Review mode:** Check complete · human review verified - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.2 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_26d6a2bf26724c12b032481b7f077bd5 ## Overall (safe to quote) Vanilla Almond Granola by Catalina Crunch — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-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:** 13/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “this protein granola features Catalina Crunch cereal, gluten-free rolled oats, and soy crisps for a smooth, subtly sweet” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim and the brand's FAQ states its granolas meet the FDA gluten-free standard, though no independent product-level testing or certification was retrieved in the sources checked. The ingredient list includes oat, which may warrant further verification for a gluten-free claim. This reflects the public evidence available and is not a statement that the product is third-party certified. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-18 - **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:** 5/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Source of Protein Good Source of Fiber Gluten Free Plant-Based Ingredients INGREDIENTS Oats, Dry Roasted Almonds” - **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 natural flavor, 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:** 2026-11-18 - **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:** 36/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Source of Fiber Gluten Free Plant-Based Ingredients non gmo icon Catalina Crunch Logo Vanilla Almond Granola Infused” - **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim, and the Non-GMO Project Product Finder lists the Catalina Crunch brand as Verified, though that listing is brand-level and not confirmed for this specific product. The company's FAQ states its cereals are Non-GMO Project Verified and recommends checking packaging for specific products, and one independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Batch-specific public evidence for this exact product was not retrieved in this assessment. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-18 - **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Non-GMO Project 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. ## Not claimed on this page Allergen-Free, Organic, Fair Trade. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_26d6a2bf26724c12b032481b7f077bd5 - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_26d6a2bf26724c12b032481b7f077bd5/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_26d6a2bf26724c12b032481b7f077bd5/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_26d6a2bf26724c12b032481b7f077bd5/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.
