# Koia Koia Cinnamon Horchata Protein Shake — 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. ## Product - **Brand:** Koia - **Product:** Koia Cinnamon Horchata Protein Shake - **GTIN:** 20854092006150 - **Sold at:** drinkkoia.com - **Product page:** https://drinkkoia.com/products/cinnamon-horchata-protein-shakes - **Assessment ID:** pta_3ca7520462234f628e0de080c92c3e40 - **Assessed:** 2026-11-02 - **Last reviewed:** n/a - **Review mode:** Not final · review pending ⚠️ At least one claim here is **preliminary** — a person is still reviewing it; see the per-claim status. - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.4 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_3ca7520462234f628e0de080c92c3e40 ## Overall (safe to quote) Koia Cinnamon Horchata Protein Shake by Koia — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: 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:** 14/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “pea, and chickpea proteins – no dairy, no gluten, no soy, vegan, kosher & non-GMO. Gut Healthy” - **Safe citation wording:** The seller's product page states the product is gluten-free, and a Koia brand "About" page lists "Gluten-Free" among general label attributes for its lineup. In the sources checked, no independent product-level gluten-free certificate or testing was retrieved for this exact item, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so an ingredient check was not completed. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and does not require third-party certification, though the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02 - **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: Only GFCO's certified-products page was checked; no other major gluten-free certifier registries (e.g. NSF, SCS, GIG, CSA, Coeliac UK) were searched for this brand, leaving the certifier-match path incompletely explored. ### Allergen-Free - **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`) - **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, soy free” - **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: 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. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes tree nut, almond, 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:** 2026-11-26 - **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, soy-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. ### Vegan - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 9/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Protein Shakes vegan? Yes. Koia Protein Shakes are 100% vegan and made with plant-based ingredients. What fiber” - **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Vegan, and a brand-level FAQ states that all Koia products are 100% vegan, though neither source names the Cinnamon Horchata Protein Shake specifically. 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. 'Vegan' is not defined by US food regulation, so this claim can be self-declared without required independent testing. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **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. ### Non-GMO - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 8/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “NON GMO IN RETAIL STORES protein Cinnamon Horchata Get it” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Separately, the product page's text mentions pea, rice — the Non-GMO Project's own Monitored-Risk list (a real but lower signal than its High-Risk list, per the Project's own standard), included here for shoppers who want it, not as a contradiction of this claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-24 - **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. ## Not claimed on this page Organic, Fair Trade. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_3ca7520462234f628e0de080c92c3e40 - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_3ca7520462234f628e0de080c92c3e40/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_3ca7520462234f628e0de080c92c3e40/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_3ca7520462234f628e0de080c92c3e40/history ## 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.
