# Catalina Crunch Vanilla Almond Granola — 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)

Vanilla Almond Granola by Catalina Crunch — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): 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:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Vanilla Almond Granola Gluten-Free Vanilla Almond Granola | Catalina Crunch Skip to Main”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is gluten-free, and the product page displays that claim; Catalina Crunch's FAQ says its granolas are gluten-free and meet the FDA gluten-free standard, and the available ingredient statement (which lists oat) does not contradict the claim. TilliT did not retrieve independent product-level testing, batch-specific public evidence, or a GFCO certification match for Catalina Crunch in the sources checked, so the claim is the seller's own statement and is not independently confirmed here. Gluten-free rules differ by country (for example, the US and EU use a below-20 ppm threshold while Australia and New Zealand require no detectable gluten), and for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **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:** 4/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Source of Protein Good Source of Fiber Gluten Free Plant-Based Ingredients INGREDIENTS Oats, Dry Roasted Almonds”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Vegan. In the main markets TilliT checks (the US, the EU, the UK, Canada and Australia), this kind of Vegan claim can be made 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. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the product page did not use the word "Vegan" itself — this assessment was triggered by a related but distinct term (e.g. "plant-based"), not an explicit Vegan claim. Note: the ingredient list includes natural flavor, which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim. Note: the product page's text mentions sugar (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim. In the main markets TilliT checks, this claim can legally be self-declared, with no required independent testing.
- **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.
