# Carrington Farms Xanthan Gum — 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)

Xanthan Gum by Carrington Farms — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: 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:** 16/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten Free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** Claim supported. This kind of Gluten-Free claim can be made in the US without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is 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 Gluten-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certification program or specific test method, but the product must meet the legal definition (under 20 ppm gluten). 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:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the Wayback Machine product-page history was attempted to corroborate whether the gluten-free badge claim is stable over time, which is a concrete public-web check distinct from the certifier/registry searches already done.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Plant Based"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page shows a "Plant Based" tag rather than an explicit "Vegan" claim, and the available ingredient statement and applicable evidence were reviewed with nothing found that contradicts it; this is not a statement that the product is third-party certified. The brand's about page describes its mission and sustainability pledge but makes no vegan claim about this product, and no match for the brand was found in the fetchable text of the Vegan Action (vegan.org) page. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Non-GMO"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Non-GMO" tag, and the brand has publicly described its mission as producing organic, non-GMO, and healthy food products, though that statement does not name this product. Public evidence located is brand- and company-level, and no batch-specific evidence or independent certifier record for this product was retrieved in this assessment. The claim is therefore publicly supported only at the brand level, and whether it reflects a meaningful distinction for this product's ingredients was not established by the evidence reviewed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **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.
