# Raaka Chocolate Mystery Bar — 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)

Mystery Bar by Raaka Chocolate — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; 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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 13/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “will be made with organic ingredients, transparently traded cacao, and free from gluten, nuts (excluding coconut), and soy”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim, and a Raaka help article states that all manufacturing is done in-house in small batches with no gluten contact to their stone grinders, though that article does not name the Mystery Bar product. No independent gluten-free certificate for this exact item was found in the sources checked, the ingredient list was not retrieved, and no product-level testing or batch-specific public evidence was retrieved. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) this claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, so the absence of independent confirmation reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a conclusion about the product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “will be made with organic ingredients, transparently traded cacao, and free from gluten, nuts (excluding coconut), and soy”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page states the bar is free from gluten and nuts (excluding coconut), and a brand help article says Raaka's in-house manufacturing avoids soy, dairy, gluten and nut contact in its stone grinders, though that article does not name this product. TilliT did not retrieve an independent allergen-free certificate for this exact item, the ingredient list, or batch-specific public evidence in the sources checked. "Allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition in the US, so this claim is scoped to the specific allergens named above.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Allergen-free claim is not publicly scoped to specific allergens.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 35/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Rest assured, every bar will be made with organic ingredients, transparently traded cacao, and free”
- **Certifier named:** Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the bar is "made with organic ingredients," and a public certifier listing shows the company Raaka Chocolate Inc. as certified, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. Public evidence retrieved is brand- and company-level, and batch-specific or product-specific certification evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The claim's wording corresponds to the USDA "made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s))" category, which requires at least 70% organic content and does not permit the official organic seal.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Natural Food Certifiers (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:** 5/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “this chocolate vegan? You bet. All of our bars are 100% vegan. Some dark chocolates still contain milk powder, but”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Vegan, and the product page displays a vegan claim covering all of the brand's bars. TilliT did not find an independent Vegan certificate for this exact item in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. The public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found and does not mean the product is not Vegan.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **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.
