# Once Upon a Farm Oatmeal Chocolate Protein Bar with Honey — 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)

Oatmeal Chocolate Protein Bar with Honey by Once Upon a Farm — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Certification Match Found; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; Allergen-Free: Limited Public Support.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Refrigerated Oat Bars and Protein Bars gluten-free? We use gluten-free oats in all of our bars. However, the bars are not”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Gluten-Free. 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 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 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:** 2026-12-05
- **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:** “Claims free of: dairy free, peanut free, tree nut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Allergen-Free. This kind of Allergen-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 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 Allergen-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes milk, 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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-free, peanut-free, tree-nut-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Organic Protein Bar Oatmeal Chocolate w/ Honey 8 Pack' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own dairy-free/allergen-free claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and allergen labeling are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("They are made on shared lines with peanuts and tree nuts.") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for tree nuts ("They are made on shared lines with peanuts and tree nuts.") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "tree nuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “flavors, sweetened only with organic honey, for a feel-good snack that tastes like a treat”
- **Certifier named:** CCOF Certification Services, LLC (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, ingredient-level. Product-specific and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. An independent registry lists the company behind this claim as certified, but that listing is company-level, not confirmed for this exact product. This claim's own wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program (US)'s 'made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s))' labeling category (requires at least 70% organic content; may NOT display the official organic seal).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **Limitation:** This claim's own wording scopes it to a specific ingredient, not the whole product — organic / fair-trade certification can apply to one ingredient without the finished product itself being certified, and the page shows no whole-product certification (no seal, no "certified organic" statement).
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured CCOF Certification Services, LLC (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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “or artificial ingredients USDA Organic & Non-GMO Project Verified Clean Label Project Purity Awarded”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Non-GMO Project Verified mark, and the Non-GMO Project Product Finder lists the brand Once Upon A Farm as verified, but these public sources are brand- and product-page-level and do not confirm the specific lot or package. Public evidence retrieved did not include a certifier record naming this exact product or the seller's own certificates for this batch. TilliT did not verify this claim, and confirming a specific batch would require reviewing the seller's certification documents.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-11
- **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.

## 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.
