# Alter Eco Foods 70% Deep Dark Sea Salt Chocolate Bar | Alter Eco — 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)

70% Deep Dark Sea Salt Chocolate Bar | Alter Eco by Alter Eco Foods — public trust assessment of 5 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Certification Match Found; Fair Trade: 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 76/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten-Free"”
- **Certifier named:** Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Gluten-Free" tag, and the Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) directory lists brand Alter Eco Foods with a certified product whose listing name "Sea Salt 70%" matches this product, while a separate GFCO certified products page check returned no match for Alter Eco Foods. This public evidence is brand- and product-level and does not confirm the specific batch or package in hand, which would require the seller's own certificates or documents. No certifier verification of this claim by TilliT was performed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-08
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 76/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Sea Salt 70% cacao climate justice a set of icons: organic, non-g.m.o.'s, no gluten ingredients, no soy ingredients”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) 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 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. 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. 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:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Quality Assurance International (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:** 25/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Vegan" tag, and one independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim specific to this exact product. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, and product-level, while batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The ingredient list includes sugar, which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-12
- **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:** 25/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “70% cacao climate justice a set of icons: organic, non-g.m.o.'s, no gluten ingredients, no soy ingredients, no”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a non-GMO claim, and one independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim that is specific to this exact product; batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment, and no independent certifier record backing the claim was found. Public evidence located is at brand, company, and product level, and none of the listed ingredients are among crop types or inputs with a commercially available genetically modified counterpart in the US. This claim may therefore not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-12
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.
- **Limitation:** This product's organic certification is independently confirmed, and USDA / EU / Canada organic rules prohibit GMOs — so the organic certification already rules out GMO ingredients, even though a separate Non-GMO Project record was not found.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 55/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “no additives, no artificial sweeteners, vegan, fair trade, recyclable packaging 70% Deep Dark Sea Salt Chocolate”
- **Certifier named:** Fair for Life (Ecocert)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a fair-trade claim, and a certifier directory lists the brand behind it as a certified partner, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. Two independent organisations published evidence relevant to this claim, but batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Public evidence found is company-level rather than product-level.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-10-10
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fair for Life (Ecocert) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

## 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.
