# Raaka Chocolate Mystery Bar — 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)

Mystery Bar by Raaka Chocolate — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; Allergen-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:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “will be made with organic ingredients, transparently traded cacao, and free from gluten, nuts (excluding coconut), and soy”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the bar is free from gluten, and a brand help article says no gluten contacts the company's stone grinders; no independent GFCO certification for Raaka Chocolate was found in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) is voluntary and requires under 20 ppm gluten but does not require third-party certification or a specific test method. Public evidence found does not include product-level testing or certification, so this claim is not independently confirmed here — a gap in public evidence, not a finding about the label.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **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.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “will be made with organic ingredients, transparently traded cacao, and free from gluten, nuts (excluding coconut), and soy”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller describes this bar as free from gluten and nuts (excluding coconut), and a Raaka help article states that no soy, dairy, gluten or nuts contact their stone grinders during in-house small-batch manufacturing. No independent allergen-free certificate for this exact item, ingredient list, or batch-specific public evidence was retrieved in the sources checked, and 'allergen-free' has no single regulatory definition, so the claim should be read as scoped to those specific allergens. This wording reflects only the public evidence found and does not represent verification by TilliT.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **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:** Allergen-free claim is not publicly scoped to specific allergens.
- **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:** 35/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Rest assured, every bar will be made with organic ingredients, transparently traded cacao, and free”
- **Certifier named:** Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Public evidence supports that the product page states the bar is made with organic ingredients, and the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists Raaka Chocolate Inc. as certified at the company level, but no listing confirming this exact product was retrieved. Public evidence was not retrieved at the batch level, and the claim's wording corresponds to the USDA 'made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s))' category, which requires at least 70% organic content and may not display the official organic seal.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **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:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Natural Food 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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “this chocolate vegan? You bet. All of our bars are 100% vegan. Some dark chocolates still contain milk powder, but”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states that all of the brand's bars are 100% vegan, and a separate brand help article describes dairy-free, in-house manufacturing for a different single-origin bar, though it does not mention this product. No independent vegan certificate for this exact item was found on the Vegan Action page checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. The public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found and does not indicate the product is not vegan.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **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.

## 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.
