# Carrington Farms Organic Crounons - Cracked Pepper & Sea Salt — 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)

Organic Crounons - Cracked Pepper & Sea Salt by Carrington Farms — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 14/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Powders Protein Powders MCT Oils Salad Toppers Crounons (gluten-free crouton) ABOUT RECIPES FIND A STORE WHOLESALE Skip”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim, and the brand's public pages describe its mission and non-GMO/organic positioning, but no ingredient list, product-level testing, or GFCO certification match for this item was retrieved in the sources checked. Public gluten-free rules differ by region (US and EU below 20 ppm; Australia and New Zealand require no detectable gluten), and none requires third-party certification. This reflects the scope of public evidence reviewed, not a conclusion about the label, so 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 54/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Organic Crounons - Cracked Pepper & Sea Salt Organic Crounons”
- **Certifier named:** QAI
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from QAI appears to match this product or product family. This supports a strong public certification signal, but does not confirm this specific batch, which would require a review of the seller's own certificates or documents. Specifically, a certifier's records list this exact product as certified, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. This claim is backed by a certifier that evaluates products against a published standard — using documentation, supply-chain traceability, and testing of high-risk inputs where the standard requires it. That is not the same as testing every finished product, and this public evidence does not cover the exact package or lot in your hand. This claim's own wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program (US)'s 'organic' labeling category (requires at least 95% organic content; may display the official organic seal).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “.0% Guilt! EASY TO ENJOY – Organic, Gluten Free & Vegan crouton alternative. QUINOA BASE – Made from Crispy”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Vegan. Certification is optional for this kind of claim, and TilliT did not find an independent Vegan 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 Vegan. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. In the main markets TilliT checks, this claim can legally be self-declared, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **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.

## 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.
