# AlterEcoStore Sweet Ginger Truffle Thins — 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)

Sweet Ginger Truffle Thins by AlterEcoStore — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: 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

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 13/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten-Free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** Claim supported. This kind of Gluten-Free claim can be made in the US without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is not a statement that the product is third-party certified. The public-evidence score describes how much independent proof was found; it does not mean the product is not Gluten-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. 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:** 2026-12-01
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the Wayback Machine product-page history was attempted to corroborate whether the gluten-free badge claim is stable over time, which is a distinct public-web check from the certifier/registry searches already done.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 4/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “chocolate bar meets chocolate truffle organic, fair trade, support regenerative agriculture, no”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. 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:** 2026-12-01
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** TilliT could not connect this small brand to any company registry, legal entity, or certifier directory. Note that a very small operation (under $5,000 a year in organic sales, or some low-risk handling) can be lawfully exempt from organic certification in the US — so a missing certificate here is not by itself evidence the claim is false. The claim uses the plain word "organic" and does not display the USDA Organic seal.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 5/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “no artificial ingredients organic, non-gmo, gluten free, no soy ingredients, no preservatives”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes milk, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-23
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 5/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “bar meets chocolate truffle organic, fair trade, support regenerative agriculture, no refined sugars”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states a fair-trade claim, and the brand's About page publicly describes small-scale fair trade farmers and fair working standards at the brand level. Public certifier directories could not be searched non-interactively, and no certifier record matching the brand was found in the fetchable text checked, so product- or batch-specific certification was not retrieved in this assessment. The claim names Fair Trade USA and Fairtrade America, and the listed ingredients include cocoa, sugar, and vanilla, so the scope of any certification per ingredient may warrant further verification.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The product names Fair Trade USA and Fairtrade America as certifiers, but only their own site text was checked; the FLOCERT certifier database (the actual certification-body registry behind Fairtrade) was never queried for this brand, which is the most direct path to a real match.

## 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.
