# Montezuma's Chocolate Royal Mint - Dark Chocolate Mini Bars x26 — 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:** Montezuma's Chocolate - **Product:** Royal Mint - Dark Chocolate Mini Bars x26 - **GTIN:** 50012930 - **Sold at:** montezumas.co.uk - **Product page:** https://montezumas.co.uk/products/royal-mint-chocolate-mini-bars - **Assessment ID:** pta_73f095cc28c54610977df7c6407d4fa2 - **Assessed:** 2026-11-10 - **Last reviewed:** n/a - **Review mode:** Check complete · human review pending - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.4 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_73f095cc28c54610977df7c6407d4fa2 ## Overall (safe to quote) Royal Mint - Dark Chocolate Mini Bars x26 by Montezuma's Chocolate — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: 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:** 10/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten Free Chocolate"” - **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is gluten-free, and the product page displays a "Gluten Free Chocolate" tag; under UK rules such a claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certificate, though the product must meet the legal definition of no more than 20 mg of gluten per kg. The sources checked did not retrieve product-specific testing or certification, and no match for Montezuma's Chocolate was found in the fetchable text of the GFCO certified products page or Coeliac UK's site, which the product names as its certifier. This is the seller's own statement, not independent confirmation by TilliT, and for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04 - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks. - **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of Coeliac UK's own site (the primary UK gluten-free certifier/authority relevant to a UK-made product) has been attempted, which is the most directly relevant registry for a UK 'gluten-free' claim. ### Organic - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 10/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Organic vanilla extract) & Natural Flavouring: Organic Mint Oil Ingredients Dark Chocolate contains cocoa” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an "Organic" claim, and the brand has publicly described company-level certifications such as Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, Soil Association, and Cocoa Horizons, though these references do not name this specific product. The claim's wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's "organic" category (at least 95% organic content; official seal permitted), but no independent certifier record specific to this product was retrieved in this assessment. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-10 - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks. - **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle checked several national registries but never checked the Soil Association's own certifier site directly, even though the brand's own help articles explicitly name Soil Association as one of its certifiers — the single most specific, checkable path to a stronger match. ### Vegan - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 8/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan Chocolate"” - **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Vegan. This kind of Vegan claim can be made in the UK without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is the seller's own statement, not independent confirmation, and 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. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes natural flavoring, sugar, which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the UK, with no required independent testing. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29 - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks. ## Not claimed on this page Allergen-Free, Non-GMO, Fair Trade. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_73f095cc28c54610977df7c6407d4fa2 - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_73f095cc28c54610977df7c6407d4fa2/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_73f095cc28c54610977df7c6407d4fa2/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_73f095cc28c54610977df7c6407d4fa2/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.
