# Alter Eco Foods Sea Salt Truffles (60 Piece) — 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)

Sea Salt Truffles (60 Piece) by Alter Eco Foods — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Certification Match Found; 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 73/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten-Free"”
- **Certifier named:** Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) 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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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.

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 73/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Truffles (60 Piece) review Sea Salt Truffles (60 Piece) organic Sea Salt Truffles (60 Piece) certified a set of icons”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim, and the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists Alter Eco Foods, LLC as certified by Quality Assurance International, with a product listing for "Chocolate - Sea Salt Truffle" that matches this product name. This public evidence is brand- and product-level and does not confirm the specific batch or package in hand, which would require the seller's own certificates or documents. The claim's wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's 'organic' labeling category (at least 95% organic content; may display the official seal).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Quality Assurance International (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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “with nourishing coconut oil. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients & Nutrition Panels”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO 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. Note: the ingredient list includes milk, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-24
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.
- **Limitation:** This product's organic certification is independently confirmed, and USDA / EU / Canada organic rules prohibit GMOs — so the organic certification already rules out GMO ingredients, even though a separate Non-GMO Project record was not found.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 49/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “*organic vanilla beans, natural flavors. *Fair for Life Fair Trade Certified. Contains 96.3% Fair Trade Ingredients”
- **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair for Life Fair Trade Certified mark and states 96.3% Fair Trade Ingredient, and this claim has appeared in archived snapshots since 2019. Public evidence retrieved is brand- and company-level, including a certifier listing the brand as certified; a match for this exact product was not found in the certifier's fetchable public text, and batch-specific evidence was not retrieved. Fair-trade certification can apply to specific ingredients via mass balance rather than the whole product, so the scope of this claim is not established by the public evidence reviewed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** The fair-trade mark shown on this product is Fair Trade USA, but the only registry TilliT can search for this claim is Fairtrade International — a different, separately-run certification scheme. This scheme publishes no searchable public directory, so its certification can't be confirmed or ruled out from public data.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

## 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.
