# Raaka Chocolate Classic Hot Chocolate — 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)

Classic Hot Chocolate by Raaka Chocolate — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; 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:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and certified organic and kosher.”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim with limited public support. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, facility-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certification program or specific test method, but the product must meet the legal definition (under 20 ppm gluten). TilliT did not find independent public product-level testing or certification in the sources checked, so TilliT cannot independently confirm this claim today — that is a gap in public evidence, not a sign the label lacks legal support. For medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and certified organic and kosher.”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page states that the chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free and certified organic and kosher, and a Raaka help article describes company-level practices stating no soy, dairy, gluten, or nuts contact their stone grinders, though that article does not name the Classic Hot Chocolate product. Batch-specific public evidence for this product was not retrieved in this assessment. In the US, allergen-free has no single regulatory definition and such claims can be self-declared without required independent testing, so the claim is scoped to the specific allergens named.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (soy-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 85/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "badge-organic"”
- **Certifier named:** Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) 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. This claim's own wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program (US)'s 'organic' labeling category (requires at least 95% organic content; may display the official organic seal).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-06
- **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:** 6/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Vegan" tag, and the available ingredient statement and applicable evidence were reviewed without finding anything that contradicts it; batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved, and no third-party vegan certification for Raaka Chocolate was found on the checked Vegan Action page. The ingredient list includes sugar, which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim. This is not a statement that the product is third-party certified, and "vegan" is not defined by US food regulation.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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.
