# Koia Koia Coconut Almond 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.

## Overall (safe to quote)

Koia Coconut Almond 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: Conflicting Public Evidence. 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:** Public sources show a gluten-free claim on the product page and a general brand listing of "Gluten-Free" as a label attribute, but no product-specific testing or certification for the Koia Coconut Almond Protein Shake was retrieved, and no match for Koia was found on the GFCO certified products page checked. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), such a claim is voluntary and does not require third-party certification, though the product must meet the rule's definition (under 20 ppm gluten). This summary describes only the public evidence found and not retrieved; it is not a verification of the claim, and for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, soy free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Publicly available information does not establish a product-wide allergen-free status: the brand FAQ states that Koia Protein Shakes contain nuts such as almonds and coconuts and are produced in facilities that process tree nuts, while the product page text retrieved was generic navigation and cart boilerplate with no substantive allergen or certification details. Because "allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition in the US, any such claim should be read as scoped to specific allergens rather than to all allergens. This summary reflects only the sources retrieved and does not represent a verification of the claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **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:** Public evidence supports that Koia's brand FAQ and product page describe its protein shakes as vegan and plant-based, though these are brand statements rather than independent certification, and no Koia match was found on the Vegan Action page. The ingredient list includes lecithin, natural flavor, and sugar, which may warrant further verification for a vegan claim. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **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 Coconut Almond Get it delivered”
- **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 ingredient list includes 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. 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:** 2026-11-26
- **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.
