# Dandelion Chocolate House Mocha Mix — 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)

House Mocha Mix by Dandelion Chocolate — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Conflicting Public Evidence; 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:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Storage instructions: store in a cool, dry place vegan gluten free nut free peanut free House Mocha Mix”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Public sources conflict about this product's Gluten-Free claim. This is based on the product's own declared ingredient list ("wheat"). The claim should not be relied upon without further review. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information, and public sources conflict about this claim, so it should not be relied on without further review. The ingredient list itself names wheat, which conflicts with the Gluten-Free claim. 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:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the other major gluten-free certifier registries (e.g. NSF, SCS, BRCGS, CSA, Coeliac UK) has been attempted for this brand — only GFCO was searched — so a certifier match could still exist in a registry never queried.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “free nut free peanut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Allergen-Free. This kind of Allergen-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 Allergen-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes soy, wheat, sesame, 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:** 2026-11-27
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free, tree-nut-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("Packed in a facility that processes peanuts, milk, tree nuts (almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and coconuts), sesame, wheat, and soy.") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for tree nuts ("Packed in a facility that processes peanuts, milk, tree nuts (almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and coconuts), sesame, wheat, and soy.") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "tree nuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 37/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “(or gifting to coffee-loving friends), this vegan House Mocha Mix is crafted from a comforting, revivifying”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Vegan 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 company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing. Vegan Action's standard: Explicitly allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed, to avoid excluding otherwise animal-free products.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-06
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Vegan Action 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.
