TilliT checked anyway. See exactly what we looked for, badge by badge, below.
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. This assessment ran the identical automated methodology whether or not this merchant has ever worked with TilliT.
Claims we checked
TilliT couldn't fully read this page — it returned mostly navigation and cart text, which usually means the content loads with JavaScript, or the item is out of stock. Any badge claim that only appears in that content wasn't seen here. Everything TilliT could check (company background, recalls, registries) still ran — see below.Read: product title, description, package images · Not found: ingredient list, allergen statement · 1,260 characters of page text

Outside TilliT's checks1 claim
These are marketing or nutrition-label descriptions rather than independently certified claims, so they aren't something TilliT verifies.
- What is this?
Made in USA
On the page: “anniversary patch on the front. Union made in the USA. Title Default Title Price:”
What it means: An origin claim about where the product was made or grown.
Why TilliT doesn't verify it: "Made in USA" is regulated by the FTC as an on-label claim, not a third-party certification, so it's outside TilliT's checks.
How to check it yourself: There's no public register; this relies on the manufacturer's own records.
TilliT also looked for gluten-free, allergen-free, organic, vegan, non-gmo, fair trade claims. TilliT did not find these claims in the content it could retrieve. The page was only partly readable, so they may still appear on the full product page or package.

Supply chain & sourcing
Who makes and moves this product, and where it comes from, from public sources only. It's background context, not evidence for or against any badge claim.
- The seller's own informationProduct page labelling text
The product's own labelling states a country of origin of 'USA'. Origin statements are regulated on-label claims, not third-party certifications.
“Union made in the USA.”
What this means: This is the seller's own statement about where the product comes from. It is useful context, but it has not been independently checked.
Open source - The seller's own informationBrand sourcing / ingredients page
The brand publishes a page about its own suppliers / sourcing. This is the company's own account of its supply chain — worth reading, but not an independently verified supplier list.
What this means: This is the seller's own statement about where the product comes from. It is useful context, but it has not been independently checked.
Open source - Government-hosted recordUK Modern Slavery Statement Registry
A company matching 'none' has filed a modern slavery / supply-chain due-diligence statement in the UK government's public registry. Such a statement describes the steps a company says it takes to check its own supply chain.
What this means: The company has filed the modern-slavery statement that UK law requires of larger businesses. Having a filing on record is a compliance step; the statement's wording is written by the company. It speaks to labour practices (most relevant to a Fair Trade claim), not to what is in the product.
Open source - Government-hosted recordGLEIF (Global LEI Foundation)
A legal entity with a matching name, 'EQUAL EXCHANGE, INC.', is registered in the Global Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) system, headquartered in West Bridgewater, US (status: ACTIVE).
What this means: A registered legal entity with this name exists, and its record shows where it is based. TilliT matched it by name only, so compare its location with the product's own label before treating it as the company behind this product. It is not a check of any badge claim.
Open source - Government-hosted recordEPA ECHO (facility compliance history)
US EPA facilities whose registered name matches 'Equal Exchange' have 1 record(s) in the EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database, including 0 inspection(s).
What this means: The manufacturer's facilities show up in the US EPA's environmental compliance database by name, but have no inspections on record there. This is general company background and does not bear on any badge claim.
