# Lifeboost Coffee Optimist Light Roast - 4 Pound Bag — 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)

Optimist Light Roast - 4 Pound Bag by Lifeboost Coffee — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; 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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 15/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Is your coffee gluten-free? Yes, our coffee is gluten free including our flavored coffee! Where is your coffee”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller's product page states the coffee, including flavored varieties, is gluten-free; no independent product-level testing or certification for this exact item was found in the sources checked, and the brand pages reviewed describe third-party testing for toxins, molds, and heavy metals but do not address gluten. The ingredient list was not retrieved, so an ingredient check was not completed, and the public-evidence score reflects the amount of independent proof found rather than a conclusion about the product. Gluten-free rules differ by country (US and EU below 20 ppm; 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:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “is medicine, so the fact that Lifeboost is organic, tested for mycotoxins, molds, heavy metals, pesticides”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim, and the brand's help articles state that its flagship roasts are USDA Organic certified with 100% Organic Arabica coffee, though those articles do not specifically name the Optimist Light Roast 4 Pound Bag. Public evidence retrieved is brand- and company-level, and batch-specific or product-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim in the public directories checked.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **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:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Metals & Over 450 Toxins! Our coffee is mold-free, non-GMO, shade-grown, fairly traded, and of single origin”
- **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. Separately, the product page's text mentions banana, mushroom, 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:** 2026-11-24
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Toxins! Our coffee is mold-free, non-GMO, shade-grown, fairly traded, and of single origin. We strive to give you the healthiest”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a fair-trade claim, and public brand-level statements describe paying farmers fairly and supporting their communities, but these do not name the Optimist Light Roast product or cite a fair-trade certification. No independent certifier record backing this claim was retrieved in this assessment, and public certifier directories could not be searched non-interactively. Any fair-trade scope (whole product versus a specific ingredient) was not identified in the evidence reviewed.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle checked Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade America, and Fair Trade Federation, but never checked other major fair-trade certifiers that coffee commonly carries — Rainforest Alliance, Fair for Life, FLOCERT, or SPP — any of which could be the actual certifier behind a 'fairly traded' 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.
