# Biena Snacks Sea Salt Roasted Chickpeas 4 Pack — 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)

Sea Salt Roasted Chickpeas 4 Pack by Biena Snacks — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): 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:** “6g Plant Protein* * Plant-Based, Gluten Free, Peanut Free, Tree Nut Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Public evidence retrieved includes a product page displaying a gluten-free claim for the Sea Salt Roasted Chickpeas, but no independent product-level testing or certification was found in the sources checked, including the GFCO certified products page. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This wording describes only what the retrieved public sources show and does not confirm the claim.
- **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: Only GFCO's registry was checked; no other major gluten-free certifier registries (e.g. NSF, SCS, GIG, CSA, Coeliac UK) were searched for this brand, which is the realistic path to a stronger certification match.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 27/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, peanut free, tree nut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an allergen-free claim ("Claims free of: dairy free, peanut free, tree nut free"), and one independent organisation published evidence naming this exact product, while batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This kind of Allergen-Free claim can be self-declared in the US without a third-party certificate, and the available ingredient statement and applicable evidence contained nothing that contradicts the claim. This is not a statement that the product is third-party certified, and the public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found rather than any conclusion about the product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-free, peanut-free, tree-nut-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:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “with sea salt. 6g Plant Protein* * Plant-Based, Gluten Free, Peanut Free, Tree Nut Free, Grain Free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Claim supported. This kind of Vegan 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 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 Vegan. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the product page did not use the word "Vegan" itself — this assessment was triggered by a related but distinct term (e.g. "plant-based"), not an explicit Vegan claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **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.
