# Once Again Creamy Natural Almond Butter Bucket - Lightly Toasted - 9 lbs — 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)

Creamy Natural Almond Butter Bucket - Lightly Toasted - 9 lbs by Once Again — public trust assessment of 5 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Certification Match Found; Gluten-Free: Partially Supported by Public Evidence; Allergen-Free: Limited Public Support; Fair Trade: 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:** Partially Supported by Public Evidence (`public_corroboration_moderate`)
- **Evidence strength:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Peanut Free Single Ingredient No Salt Vegan Gluten Free Non-GMO Deliciously creamy, natural almond butter”
- **Certifier named:** Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP)
- **Safe citation wording:** Once Again publicly presents this product as Gluten-Free and some public evidence supports the claim, but the evidence scope is incomplete. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product family-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Gluten-free rules differ by country: the US and EU allow the claim below 20 ppm (20 mg per kg) gluten, while Australia and New Zealand require no detectable gluten. None of them requires a third-party certification program. TilliT did not find independent public product-level testing or certification in the sources checked, so TilliT cannot independently confirm this claim today — that is a gap in public evidence, not a sign the label lacks legal support. For medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02
- **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.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: peanut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Allergen-Free. Certification is optional for this kind of claim, and TilliT did not find an independent Allergen-Free 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 Allergen-Free. 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. The precautionary allergen language on this product page states no quantitative basis — in the main markets TilliT checks, this kind of wording is voluntary, with no required threshold or testing behind it.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **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:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-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:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Peanut Free Single Ingredient No Salt Vegan Gluten Free Non-GMO Deliciously creamy, natural almond”
- **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:** 2026-12-01
- **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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 80/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Peanut Free Single Ingredient No Salt Vegan Gluten Free Non-GMO Deliciously creamy, natural almond butter made with”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim and a public certification record from Non-GMO Project 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 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. 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. Non-GMO Project's standard: The Non-GMO Project sets four different Action Thresholds, not one: 0.9% for goods for human or pet use that are ingested or topically applied (including OTC drugs and homeopathic remedies); 0.25% for seed and vegetative propagation materials; 5% for livestock, poultry, bee, and seafood feed and supplements (may be a quarterly average); and 1.5% for goods that are not ingested or topically applied (e.g. packaging, cleaning supplies, textiles). Requires ongoing lot-level testing of Testable High-Risk major inputs — not a self-declared claim — with documented alternative compliance pathways (affidavits for non-testable inputs, country-of-origin reductions, periodic averaging). Requires annual renewal evaluation of every Verified Product; onsite inspection is required annually where Parallel Processing of the same major High-Risk input occurs, and may be required at the technical administrator's discretion otherwise.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-12
- **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:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Non-GMO Project 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.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “and milled until they are wonderfully creamy. Ethically Sourced Our almonds are ethically sourced from Italy, Spain”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade claim with limited public support. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-14
- **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.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No direct check of Fair Trade USA's or Fairtrade America's own certifier databases was attempted for Once Again, even though these are the most likely certifiers for a US almond butter brand's 'ethically sourced' claim and a documented no-match there would be the strongest available public evidence.

## 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.
