# MadeGood Trail Mix Granola Bites | Organic, non-GMO, Nut-Free Snacks — 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.

These statuses reflect publicly available evidence only, not a review of the seller's own certificates or documents.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “any digging. Plus, it’s organic, gluten-free, and nut-free. Finally, a better-for-you snack that”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: MadeGood publicly presents this product as Gluten-Free and some public evidence supports the claim, but the evidence scope is incomplete. 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 family-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:** 2027-01-24
- **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:** The GFCO product list names "Organic Granola Bites- Trail Mix", which is the product family, not specifically "Trail Mix Granola Bites | Organic, non-GMO, Nut-Free Snacks"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **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, tree nut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page states the product is free of peanut and tree nut, and the available ingredient statement and general brand information were reviewed without finding a contradiction; batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. "Allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition in the US, so the claim is scoped to the specific allergens named, and the ingredient list includes oat, which may warrant further verification. This reflects publicly available evidence only and is not a statement that the product is third-party certified.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-25
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free, tree-nut-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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 79/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Trail Mix Granola Bites | Organic, non-GMO, Nut-Free Snacks Trail Mix Granola Bites”
- **Certifier named:** Pro-Cert Organic Systems, Ltd. (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from Pro-Cert Organic Systems, Ltd. (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:** 2027-10-23
- **Limitation:** Claim text could not be reliably extracted (repeated/garbled pattern detected) — verify against the live product page.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Pro-Cert Organic Systems, Ltd. (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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Trail Mix Granola Bites | Organic, non-GMO, Nut-Free Snacks Trail Mix Granola Bites | Organic”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim, and a MadeGood brand help article states that every MadeGood product is organic and Non-GMO, which is brand-level support rather than product- or batch-specific evidence. No independent certifier record backing this claim was retrieved in this assessment, and the ingredient list includes apple, which may warrant further verification. Public evidence found is brand-level and company-level; batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-25
- **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.

## 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.
