# Clearspring Bio Kitchen Organic / Demeter Gherkin Slices (Sweet & Sour) — 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)

Bio Kitchen Organic / Demeter Gherkin Slices (Sweet & Sour) by Clearspring — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support.

## Claims checked

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 40/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Open media 0 in modal 3 reviews Bio Kitchen Organic / Demeter Gherkin Slices (Sweet &”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Certification Services (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim for this item, and public evidence found is brand- and company-level, including a certifier listing the brand as certified and one independent organisation's relevant evidence. Public evidence did not confirm certification for this specific product, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Which country's organic rules apply to this product could not be confirmed from the page, so no specific label-wording rule was applied.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Which country's organic scheme applies to this product could not be confirmed from the page, so no country-specific label rule was applied.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Quality Certification Services (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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “5. : 1 g Salt: 1.2 g Organic Kosher Plant-based 100% plant-based ingredients No refined sugar, just”
- **Safe citation wording:** Claim supported. This kind of Vegan claim can be made in the UK 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. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. 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 product page's text mentions sugar (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the UK, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-16
- **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.
