# Catalina Crunch Honey Cashew Granola — 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)

Honey Cashew Granola by Catalina Crunch — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-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:** “this protein granola blends Catalina Crunch cereal, gluten-free rolled oats, and soy crisps for a sweet, crave-worthy”
- **Safe citation wording:** Public sources show the product page carries a gluten-free claim and the brand FAQ states its granolas are gluten-free and meet the FDA standard, though neither names Honey Cashew Granola specifically; the ingredient list includes oat, which may warrant further verification. No independent product-level testing or certification was retrieved, and no match for the brand was found on the GFCO or Coeliac UK public pages checked, so this claim is not independently confirmed here. This describes the public evidence only and is not a verification of the claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the major gluten-free certifier registries beyond GFCO has been attempted (e.g. NSF, SCS, GIG, CSA, Coeliac UK), and one of these could yield a specific certification match for Catalina Crunch that the GFCO-only search would miss.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Source of Protein Good Source of Fiber Gluten Free Plant-Based Ingredients INGREDIENTS Oats, Dry Roasted Cashews”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: 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. The product page's description mentions honey — worth confirming against the actual ingredient label for a Vegan claim, though it was not found in the ingredient list itself. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-16
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 35/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Granola Vanilla Almond Peanut Butter Honey Cashew non gmo icon Catalina Crunch Logo Honey Cashew Granola Bursting”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim, and the Non-GMO Project Product Finder lists the brand Catalina Crunch as verified, though that listing is brand-level and not confirmed for this specific Honey Cashew Granola product. The company's FAQ states its cereals are Non-GMO Project Verified and directs customers to check packaging for specific products, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This summary describes publicly available evidence only and does not represent a verification of the claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **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.
