# Lifeboost Coffee Optimist Light Roast - 4 Pound Bag — 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.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Is your coffee gluten-free? Yes, our coffee is gluten free including our flavored coffee! Where is your coffee”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Gluten-Free. Certification is optional for this kind of claim, and TilliT did not find an independent Gluten-Free certificate for this exact item in the sources checked. TilliT could not retrieve the ingredient list, so it has not completed an ingredient check. The public-evidence score describes how much independent proof was found; it does not mean the product is not Gluten-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. 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:** 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.

### Organic

- **Status:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “is medicine, so the fact that Lifeboost is organic, tested for mycotoxins, molds, heavy metals, pesticides”
- **Certifier named:** NFC
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays an Organic claim and names NFC (Natural Food Certifiers) as the certifying body, and a brand help article states the flagship roasts are USDA Organic certified, though it does not name this specific product. Publicly available accreditation actions from the USDA National Organic Program include a 2017-07-07 suspended accreditation action involving Natural Food Certifiers. No independent certifier record confirming this product's certification was retrieved, so the claim is not confirmed by the sources reviewed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-10
- **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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Metals & Over 450 Toxins! Our coffee is mold-free, non-GMO, shade-grown, fairly traded, and of single origin”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: 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, company-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:** 2026-11-27
- **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.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Toxins! Our coffee is mold-free, non-GMO, shade-grown, fairly traded, and of single origin. We strive to give you the healthiest”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a fair-trade claim, and public brand-level statements describe paying farmers fairly and using sustainable farming methods, but no product-specific fair-trade certification for the Optimist Light Roast 4 Pound Bag was found in the retrieved sources. Public certifier directories could not be searched non-interactively, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The retrieved evidence does not establish independent certification of this claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-10
- **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.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle checked Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade America, and Fair for Life, but never checked FLOCERT (Fairtrade International's actual certification body) or Fair Trade Federation's own site, which are the most likely registries for a US coffee brand's fair-trade claim.

## 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.
