# 88 Acres Cookies and Cream Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) — 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.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 87/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) Non-GMO non gmo Kosher Vegan Gluten free Nut free Dairy free Certified gluten-free No artificial”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from GFCO 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 the product page displays a recognized certification mark. 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. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-16
- **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:** “bar 0 0 artificial ingredients Top 9 Top 9 allergen free Low Low FODMAP friendly 12% 12% daily value of fiber”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Allergen-Free 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, facility-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes oat, which may warrant further verification for a Allergen-Free claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Allergen-free claim is not publicly scoped to specific allergens.
- **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:** 51/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Organic certification logo detected on a product image”
- **Certifier named:** Baystate Organic Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** A USDA Organic certification mark was detected on a product image, and the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists the brand's company (88 Acres Foods Inc) as certified by Baystate Organic Certifiers; this listing is company-level and was not confirmed for this specific product. No written organic claim was found on the product page, and product-specific or batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. A logo on an image is the merchant's own artwork and is not by itself proof that this product is certified.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-12
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Baystate Organic Certifiers (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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 87/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Cream Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) Non-GMO non gmo Kosher Vegan Gluten free Nut free Dairy free Certified gluten-free”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Vegan claim and a public certification record from Vegan Action 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 the product page displays a recognized certification mark. 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. Vegan Action's standard: Explicitly allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed, to avoid excluding otherwise animal-free products.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-01-16
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Vegan Action 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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 53/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “50%"}} Cookies and Cream Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) Non-GMO non gmo Kosher Vegan Gluten free Nut free Dairy free”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. 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. Non-GMO Project's standard: The Non-GMO Project sets four different Action Thresholds, not one: 0.9% for goods for human or pet use that are ingested or topically applied (including OTC drugs and homeopathic remedies); 0.25% for seed and vegetative propagation materials; 5% for livestock, poultry, bee, and seafood feed and supplements (may be a quarterly average); and 1.5% for goods that are not ingested or topically applied (e.g. packaging, cleaning supplies, textiles). Requires ongoing lot-level testing of Testable High-Risk major inputs — not a self-declared claim — with documented alternative compliance pathways (affidavits for non-testable inputs, country-of-origin reductions, periodic averaging). Requires annual renewal evaluation of every Verified Product; onsite inspection is required annually where Parallel Processing of the same major High-Risk input occurs, and may be required at the technical administrator's discretion otherwise. Non-GMO is accurate for this product, but none of its listed ingredients (e.g. corn, soy, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, papaya, eggplant, pineapple, zucchini, potato, or animal-derived inputs such as meat, dairy, or egg) are among the crop types or inputs with a commercially available genetically modified/GMO-fed counterpart (TilliT uses the US list, which approves more such crops than most markets) — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-06
- **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.

## 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.
