# Carrington Farms Organic Flax Cooking Oil — 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)

Organic Flax Cooking Oil by Carrington Farms — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-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:** 19/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten Free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Gluten-Free. This kind of Gluten-Free claim can be made in the US without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is the seller's own statement, not independent confirmation, and 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 Gluten-Free. Specifically, 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim, and the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certification program or specific test method, but the product must meet the legal definition (under 20 ppm gluten). 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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the Celiac Support Association, National Celiac Association, Coeliac UK, or other celiac certifier directories has been attempted for this brand — only GFCO was checked — so a certifier match could still exist in an unsearched registry.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 26/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “the kitchen with Carrington Farms Organic Flax Cooking Oil, cold pressed for a fresh, mild nutty”
- **Certifier named:** QAI
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and the supporting evidence is about this brand, not this specific product. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, ingredient-level. Product-specific and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. 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:** 2026-12-09
- **Limitation:** This claim's own wording scopes it to a specific ingredient, not the whole product — organic / fair-trade certification can apply to one ingredient without the finished product itself being certified, and the page shows no whole-product certification (no seal, no "certified organic" statement).
- **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:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Plant Based"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays the tag "Plant Based" rather than the word "Vegan," and the brand has publicly described itself as focused on healthy cooking oils and pantry staples and as offering non-GMO and organic options. A check of the public Vegan Action (vegan.org) page found no match for 'Carrington Farms,' and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This reflects the publicly available information only and is not independent confirmation or third-party certification of a Vegan claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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:** 38/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Non-GMO"”
- **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 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. 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:** 2026-12-09
- **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.
