# Rude Health Foods Almond Drink — 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)

Almond Drink by Rude Health Foods — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: 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:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "gluten-free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "gluten-free" claim, and under UK rules such a claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, though the product must meet the legal definition of no more than 20 mg of gluten per kg. No independent product-level testing or certification for this exact item was retrieved in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. The brand pages reviewed did not address gluten-free status, and this reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a conclusion about the label.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle checked Coeliac UK and GFCO but never tried the other major gluten-free certifier registries (e.g. AOECS, which Coeliac UK is affiliated with, or GIG/BRCGS/GFCP), any of which could hold a match for the named certifier or brand.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 11/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Allergen-Free. Certification is optional for this kind of claim, and TilliT did not find an independent Allergen-Free certificate for this exact item in the sources checked. TilliT could not retrieve the ingredient list, so it has not completed an ingredient check. The public-evidence score describes how much independent proof was found; it does not mean the product is not Allergen-Free. 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 UK, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-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.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 11/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "organic"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an "organic" tag, and the brand's own help articles state that its Almond Drink uses organic Sicilian almonds and that organic certification applies to ingredients sourced outside the EU. Public evidence located is brand- and product-level, and no independent certifier record was retrieved in this assessment, including no match in the checked NPOP and Australian Organic directories. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the UK's Soil Association certification directory has been attempted, which is the most likely certifier for a UK-based brand making an organic claim, and is the single most relevant registry to confirm or refute a certifier match.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 11/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "vegan" tag, and the brand has publicly described its dairy-free drinks history and almond sourcing, though these statements do not name or certify this specific Almond Drink as vegan. No independent vegan certificate for this exact item was found in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. This claim can be self-declared in the UK without required independent testing, and the public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found, not whether the product is vegan.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **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.
