# Dandelion Chocolate Maya Mountain, Belize 85% 2023 Batch 1 Single-Origin Chocolate 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. ## Product - **Brand:** Dandelion Chocolate - **Product:** Maya Mountain, Belize 85% 2023 Batch 1 Single-Origin Chocolate Bar - **Sold at:** dandelionchocolate.com - **Product page:** https://dandelionchocolate.com/products/maya-mountain-belize-85-chocolate-bar - **Assessment ID:** pta_6f800d30625142368b138a5e7aab1f0a - **Assessed:** 2026-11-02 - **Last reviewed:** n/a - **Review mode:** Not final · review pending ⚠️ At least one claim here is **preliminary** — a person is still reviewing it; see the per-claim status. - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.4 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_6f800d30625142368b138a5e7aab1f0a ## Overall (safe to quote) Maya Mountain, Belize 85% 2023 Batch 1 Single-Origin Chocolate Bar by Dandelion Chocolate — 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:** 14/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Shelf life: 2 years from factory production date Vegan gluten free nut free kosher-svg kosher soy free 85% Single-Origin” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim, and the sources checked did not include independent product-level testing or a third-party certificate for this product. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) is voluntary and requires no certification program, but the product must still meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment, so this describes the public evidence found and not a verification of the claim. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02 - **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: peanut free, soy free, tree nut free” - **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Claim supported. This kind of Allergen-Free 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 Allergen-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free, soy-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:** 38/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Shelf life: 2 years from factory production date Vegan gluten free nut free kosher-svg kosher soy free 85” - **Certifier named:** Vegan Action - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a vegan claim, and a certifier catalog lists at least one Dandelion product as certified, though not this specific bar; brand help articles describe two-ingredient chocolate but do not name this product or address its vegan status. Public evidence found is brand-level and company-level, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. In the US, vegan can be self-declared with no required independent testing, and Vegan Action's standard allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02 - **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. ## Not claimed on this page Organic, Non-GMO, Fair Trade. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_6f800d30625142368b138a5e7aab1f0a - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_6f800d30625142368b138a5e7aab1f0a/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_6f800d30625142368b138a5e7aab1f0a/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_6f800d30625142368b138a5e7aab1f0a/history ## 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.
