# The Spice House Kosterina Extra Virgin Duo — 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)

Kosterina Extra Virgin Duo by The Spice House — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: 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:** 34/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “for cooking and finishing dishes. It includes our Organic Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is perfect”
- **Certifier named:** Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim, and public evidence retrieved is company-level: a certifier listing identifies the company behind the brand as certified, but that listing does not confirm this specific product. The claim's wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's 'organic' category, which requires at least 95% organic content and may display the official seal. Product-specific and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **Limitation:** This claim's own wording scopes it to a specific ingredient, not the whole product — organic / fair-trade certification can apply to one ingredient without the finished product itself being certified, and the page shows no whole-product certification (no seal, no "certified organic" statement).
- **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:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Garlic-free Kosher Onion-free Salt-free Sugar-free Vegan Garlic & Onion-Free Back Explore By Cuisine Travel”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a vegan claim, and no independent vegan certificate for this exact item was found in the sources checked; the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. In the main markets TilliT checks, this claim can be self-declared without required independent testing, and certifier programs such as Vegan Action, The Vegan Society, and V-Label define their own criteria. The public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found and does not establish the product's vegan status.
- **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:** 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.
