# Elmhurst 1925 Plant-Based Sea Salt Chocolate Protein Shake — 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)

Plant-Based Sea Salt Chocolate Protein Shake by Elmhurst 1925 — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Certification Match Found; Gluten-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:** 64/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “and GMOs? Yes! All of our products are FDA approved gluten free and Non-GMO Project Verified. 2. Do i have to keep”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the item is FDA gluten-free, and the brand's FAQ says all Elmhurst products are FDA gluten-free with oat items using Certified Gluten-Free Purity Protocol oats, though this specific shake is not named there. The GFCO directory lists Elmhurst as having at least one certified gluten-free product on file, but no product-level certification or batch-specific public evidence for this specific item was retrieved in the sources checked. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule requires under 20 ppm gluten and does not mandate third-party certification or a specific test method, so this reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a lack of legal support.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-10
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured GFCO 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:** 27/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Skip to content Clean Protein Sea Salt Chocolate PLANT-BASED PROTEIN SHAKE - 11 FL OZ Select Variety”
- **Safe citation wording:** Public evidence includes a brand FAQ stating all Elmhurst products are verified vegan by the American Vegetarian Association, and the product page displays a "PLANT-BASED PROTEIN SHAKE" term, though the page did not use the word "Vegan" itself. Batch-specific public evidence and a match for Elmhurst 1925 on the Vegan Action page were not retrieved in this assessment. The ingredient list includes natural flavor and sugar, which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-13
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 91/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our products are FDA approved gluten free and Non-GMO Project Verified. 2. Do i have to keep this refrigerated”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim and a public certification record from Non-GMO Project 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 the product page displays a recognized certification mark. 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. Non-GMO Project's standard: The Non-GMO Project sets four different Action Thresholds, not one: 0.9% for goods for human or pet use that are ingested or topically applied (including OTC drugs and homeopathic remedies); 0.25% for seed and vegetative propagation materials; 5% for livestock, poultry, bee, and seafood feed and supplements (may be a quarterly average); and 1.5% for goods that are not ingested or topically applied (e.g. packaging, cleaning supplies, textiles). Requires ongoing lot-level testing of Testable High-Risk major inputs — not a self-declared claim — with documented alternative compliance pathways (affidavits for non-testable inputs, country-of-origin reductions, periodic averaging). Requires annual renewal evaluation of every Verified Product; onsite inspection is required annually where Parallel Processing of the same major High-Risk input occurs, and may be required at the technical administrator's discretion otherwise. Non-GMO is accurate for this product, but none of its listed ingredients (e.g. corn, soy, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, papaya, eggplant, pineapple, zucchini, potato, or animal-derived inputs such as meat, dairy, or egg) are among the crop types or inputs with a commercially available genetically modified/GMO-fed counterpart in the US — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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.
