# Health-Ade Pink Lady Apple® Kombucha — 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)

Pink Lady Apple® Kombucha by Health-Ade — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; 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:** 44/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “taste. • Non-GMO • Vegan • Gluten-Free • Organic • Non-GMO • Vegan • Gluten-Free • Organic”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** Public sources show the product page displays a gluten-free claim, a brand help article states the brand's kombucha is Certified Gluten Free, and a certifier directory lists the brand Health-Ade SunSip with at least one certified gluten-free product on file, but these are brand- or company-level and do not establish certification or testing for this specific product. Batch-specific and independent product-level testing evidence was not retrieved in the sources checked, so the public record does not confirm this specific product's gluten-free status. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) the claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, and for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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 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.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 40/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Gut Healthy Acids During the fermentation process organic acids like acetic, lactic, gluconic and glucuronic”
- **Certifier named:** Organic Certifiers, Inc. (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Public evidence supports that the brand states its kombucha is USDA Organic Certified and that the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists Health-Ade, LLC as certified, but this is brand- and company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. The product page's "organic" wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's "organic" labeling 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:** 2026-11-29
- **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 Organic Certifiers, Inc. (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.
- **Limitation:** The Organic Certifiers, Inc. (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "Pink Lady Apple", which is the product family, not specifically "Pink Lady Apple® Kombucha"; no exact-item upgrade was made.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Antioxidants make up your body's clean-up crew. These plant-based substances are known to support your body's overall”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page uses the term "plant-based," and the brand's help and "Our Story" pages describe "Vegan" as a general brand-level attribute, but no product-specific vegan certification or ingredient list for this exact item was retrieved in the sources checked. A search of the public Vegan Action page found no match for the brand, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. This wording reflects only what the public sources state and does not represent verification of the claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “for a deliciously refreshing taste. • Non-GMO • Vegan • Gluten-Free • Organic • Non-GMO • Vegan”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-24
- **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.
