# AlterEcoStore Coffee Brittle — 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)

Coffee Brittle by AlterEcoStore — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; 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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 11/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “panel 70% cacao organic, non-gmo, gluten free, no soy ingredients, no preservatives, nothing artificial”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim, and the brand's public 'About Us' page describes its mission and certifications but does not mention this product or any gluten-free claim. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) allows this voluntary claim without third-party certification, provided the product meets the under-20-ppm definition. Independent product-level testing or certification was not retrieved from the sources checked, including the GFCO, Celiac Support Association, and National Celiac Association pages, so this reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a finding against the claim.
- **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: Several major gluten-free certifier registries (Celiac Support Association, National Celiac Association, Coeliac UK, Canadian Celiac Association, GIG, Australian Coeliac Society, AOECS, BRCGS, GFCP, NSF, SCS) were never checked directly — only GFCO was — so a certifier match could still exist on a d

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 52/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “was not found alter eco coffee brittle organic dark chocolate alter eco coffee brittle organic dark”
- **Certifier named:** No
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from No 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 the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-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:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** TilliT could not connect this small brand to any company registry, legal entity, or certifier directory. Note that a very small operation (under $5,000 a year in organic sales, or some low-risk handling) can be lawfully exempt from organic certification in the US — so a missing certificate here is not by itself evidence the claim is false. The claim uses the plain word "organic" and does not display the USDA Organic seal.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 4/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “nutrition panel 70% cacao organic, non-gmo, gluten free, no soy ingredients, no preservatives”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes milk, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO 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:** 2026-11-24
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 34/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “no refined sugar Coffee Brittle icon: fair trade Fair Trade icon: organic icon: no gluten ingredients”
- **Certifier named:** No
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade claim with limited public support. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, product-level. 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.
- **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: The bundle only checked Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade America, and FLOCERT, but never checked the other major fair-trade certifier registries (e.g. Fair for Life, Fair Trade Federation, WFTO) that could plausibly certify this brand, and never retried entity resolution with a normalized brand name — a sp

## 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.
