# Koia Chocolate Peanut Butter — 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

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, soy 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. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes peanut, tree nut, almond, which may warrant further verification for a Allergen-Free claim. Note: the product page's text mentions pecan (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Allergen-Free claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-free, soy-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Chocolate Peanut Butter Jr. Whoopie Pies' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own dairy-free/allergen-free claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and allergen labeling are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **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:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Protein Shakes vegan? Yes. Koia Protein Shakes are 100% vegan and made with plant-based ingredients. What fiber”
- **Safe citation wording:** Public evidence includes a product-page vegan claim and brand-wide FAQ and help-article statements that Koia products are plant-based or 100% vegan, though these do not name the Chocolate Peanut Butter product specifically; no Vegan Action (vegan.org) listing for Koia was found in the retrieved text, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. The ingredient statement lists lecithin, natural flavor, and sugar, which may warrant further verification for a vegan claim. This summary describes only what the retrieved public evidence states and does not represent third-party certification or independent verification.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Chocolate Peanut Butter Jr. Whoopie Pies' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own vegan claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and a vegan claim are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **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:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “FIND A STORE Search Log in Cart NON GMO IN RETAIL STORES protein Chocolate Peanut Butter protein”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim, and public evidence found is brand-level and company-level, including a brand FAQ stating all Koia products are Non-GMO certified, though batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this specific product claim. The ingredient list includes banana, peanut, pea, rice, and pumpkin, which are included here for shoppers who want it, not as a contradiction of this claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **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.
