# MadeGood Chocolate Banana Granola Minis (28 Count) | Organic, non-GMO Snacks — 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)

Chocolate Banana Granola Minis (28 Count) | Organic, non-GMO Snacks by MadeGood — public trust assessment of 5 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Certification Match Found; Gluten-Free: Certification Match Found; 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 86/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Minis—irresistible bite-sized snacks crafted from pure gluten-free oats, ethically sourced dark chocolate, and naturally”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from GFCO 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, 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. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-08
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured GFCO 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.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **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 scoped to dairy, peanut, and tree nut, and names a specific allergen-free certification mark. One independent organisation published brand-level evidence about MadeGood's general commitments, but no product-level or batch-specific public evidence for the Chocolate Banana Granola Minis was retrieved in this assessment. In the US, allergen-free claims can be self-declared without required independent testing, and the term has no single regulatory definition.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-12
- **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.

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 88/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Mushrooms), Natural Flavor*, Brown Rice Syrup*, Salt. *Organic Organic, the inside story. View this product's complete”
- **Certifier named:** Pro-Cert Organic Systems, Ltd. (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim and a recognized organic certification mark, and the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists Riverside Natural Foods Ltd. as certified by Pro-Cert Organic Systems, Ltd., with a product listing matching "(Made Good) Granola Bites Chocolate Banana." A brand help article states that all of the company's products are Certified Organic, though it does not name this specific product, and no seller certificates or documents covering the exact package or lot were retrieved. This publicly supports a product-level organic certification signal, but it does not confirm the specific batch in hand.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** This claim's own wording scopes it to a specific ingredient, not the whole product — organic / fair-trade certification can apply to one ingredient without the finished product itself being certified, and the page shows no whole-product certification (no seal, no "certified organic" statement).
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Pro-Cert Organic Systems, Ltd. (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:** 65/100
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a vegan claim and a recognized certification mark, and a certifier catalog lists at least one MadeGood product at the brand level, not this specific product. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment, and no independent verification of this claim is stated. Vegan claims can be self-declared in the US, and Vegan Action's standard allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-01-08
- **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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 86/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Bites Certified Vegan Gluten Free Non GMO Project Verified USDA Organic”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim and a public certification record from Non-GMO Project 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, 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. Non-GMO Project's standard: The Non-GMO Project sets four different Action Thresholds, not one: 0.9% for goods for human or pet use that are ingested or topically applied (including OTC drugs and homeopathic remedies); 0.25% for seed and vegetative propagation materials; 5% for livestock, poultry, bee, and seafood feed and supplements (may be a quarterly average); and 1.5% for goods that are not ingested or topically applied (e.g. packaging, cleaning supplies, textiles). Requires ongoing lot-level testing of Testable High-Risk major inputs — not a self-declared claim — with documented alternative compliance pathways (affidavits for non-testable inputs, country-of-origin reductions, periodic averaging). Requires annual renewal evaluation of every Verified Product; onsite inspection is required annually where Parallel Processing of the same major High-Risk input occurs, and may be required at the technical administrator's discretion otherwise. 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 in the US — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Non-GMO Project 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.
