# Alter Eco Foods Mint Crème Truffles (60 Piece) — 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)

Mint Crème Truffles (60 Piece) by Alter Eco Foods — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Conflicting Public Evidence; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Fair Trade: Limited Public Support. These statuses reflect publicly available evidence only, not a review of the seller's own certificates or documents.

## Claims checked

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 42/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Mint Crème Truffles (60 Piece) Mint Crème Chocolate Organic Truffles | 60-Piece Box | Alter Eco – Alter”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic 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. An independent registry lists the company behind this claim as certified, but that listing is company-level, not confirmed for this exact product. 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:** 2026-11-21
- **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:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “of Madagascar vanilla. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients &”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page uses the term "plant-based" in its wrapper text, while the ingredient list names milk, which conflicts with a vegan claim; no explicit "Vegan" claim was found on the product page. A check of the Vegan Action (vegan.org) page did not retrieve a match for Alter Eco Foods, and the brand's About page does not address this product's vegan status. Publicly available information therefore does not resolve the conflict, and the claim should not be relied upon without further review.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-21
- **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:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “of Madagascar vanilla. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients & Nutrition”
- **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 milk, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. Note: the product page's text mentions apple (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-21
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 53/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “oil, *organic vanilla beans. *Fair for Life Fair Trade certified. Contains 93.7% Fair Trade ingredients”
- **Certifier named:** Fair for Life (Ecocert)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair for Life Fair Trade claim and a recognized certification mark, and an independent registry lists the company behind the claim as certified at company level; a certifier's public site was checked but no match for the company was found in its fetchable text. Public evidence retrieved is brand-level and company-level, and batch-specific or product-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The product page also states 93.7% Fair Trade ingredients, and fair trade certification may apply to specific ingredients rather than the whole product, so the scope of the claim is not established by the public evidence reviewed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-10-19
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fair for Life (Ecocert) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

## 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.
