# 88 Acres Blueberry Lemon Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) — 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.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Made in our dedicated top 9 allergen-free bakery. Certified gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO and kosher. (per serving”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: 88 Acres publicly presents this product as gluten-free, and public evidence includes a product-page certification mark plus brand-level statements that its products are certified gluten-free and made in a dedicated top-9 allergen-free bakery; however, the certifier listing found was brand-level rather than specific to this product, and batch-specific or independent product-level testing was not retrieved in the sources checked. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), the claim is voluntary and does not require a third-party certification program or a specific test method, though the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. This reflects the scope of public evidence reviewed and is not a verification of the claim by TilliT; for medical use, rely on the c
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured GFCO match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.
- **Limitation:** The GFCO product list names "Blueberry Lemon Seed Bars, 1ct", which is the product family, not specifically "Blueberry Lemon Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars)"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “bar 0 0 artificial ingredients Top 9 Top 9 allergen free 10% 10% daily value of daily value of”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Allergen-Free claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes oat, which may warrant further verification for a Allergen-Free claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing. This claim is scoped to US allergen regulation — this covers the US 9 only; it does not address celery, mustard, lupin, molluscs or sulfites, which the EU and FSANZ separately regulate.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 46/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “and kosher, and our seed butters are also certified organic. Shipping & returns Where does 88 Acres ship to? 88”
- **Certifier named:** Baystate Organic Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim and a recognized certification mark, and a brand help article states the brand's seed butters—not the bars—are certified organic. The USDA Organic Integrity Database lists the company, 88 Acres Foods Inc, as certified, which is company-level evidence and not confirmed for this specific product. Batch-specific public evidence for this product was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Baystate Organic Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) 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: 7 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 78/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “with simple, top 9 allergen-free ingredients, it’s a plant-based snack that’s perfect for adventures, quick breakfasts”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Vegan claim and a public certification record from Vegan Action 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. 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. 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. Vegan Action's standard: Explicitly allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed, to avoid excluding otherwise animal-free products.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-25
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Vegan Action 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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Certified gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO and kosher. (per serving) Serving”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes apple, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. Separately, the ingredient list includes flax, oat, rice, pumpkin — the Non-GMO Project's own Monitored-Risk list (a real but lower signal than its High-Risk list, per the Project's own standard), included here for shoppers who want it, not as a contradiction of this claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-23
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the Non-GMO Project's own Product Finder / verified-products database has been attempted for 88 Acres or this specific bar, which is the most direct public registry path to corroborate a non-GMO claim.

## 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.
