# Equal Exchange Organic House Blend Coffee, 9oz drip grind — 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. ## Product - **Brand:** Equal Exchange - **Product:** Organic House Blend Coffee, 9oz drip grind - **Sold at:** shop.equalexchange.coop - **Product page:** https://shop.equalexchange.coop/products/everyday-organic-house-blend-coffee-9oz-drip-grind - **Assessment ID:** pta_9b6f0e550f7b42ab97db98450a0f6a3d - **Assessed:** 2026-11-10 - **Last reviewed:** 2026-11-10 - **Review mode:** Check complete · human review verified - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.4 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_9b6f0e550f7b42ab97db98450a0f6a3d ## Overall (safe to quote) Organic House Blend Coffee, 9oz drip grind by Equal Exchange — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Organic: 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 ### Organic - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 48/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Show slide 5 Show slide 6 Equal Exchange Everyday Organic House Blend Coffee, 9oz drip grind Medium Roast Equal” - **Certifier named:** Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim and a recognized certification mark, and the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists the company behind the brand as certified by Oregon Tilth, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. A brand FAQ states that all of its organic coffee is certified by Oregon Tilth, but it does not name this product. Batch-specific or product-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. - **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:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add. - **Limitation:** The Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "House Blend", which is the product family, not specifically "Organic House Blend Coffee, 9oz drip grind"; no exact-item upgrade was made. - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. ### Fair Trade - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 49/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Fair Trade certification logo detected on a product image” - **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder) - **Safe citation wording:** A Fair Trade certification mark was detected in a product image, and Fairtrade International's Fairtrade Finder lists Equal Exchange (United States) as FLOCERT-certified for coffee at the brand level. Product-specific and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment, and no written Fair Trade claim was found on the product page. Certification may apply to an ingredient rather than the whole product, so scope should be confirmed per claim. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-10 - **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 Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder) 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. ## Not claimed on this page Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free, Vegan, Non-GMO. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_9b6f0e550f7b42ab97db98450a0f6a3d - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_9b6f0e550f7b42ab97db98450a0f6a3d/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_9b6f0e550f7b42ab97db98450a0f6a3d/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_9b6f0e550f7b42ab97db98450a0f6a3d/history ## 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.
