# Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood – Sunfood Superfoods — 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)

Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood – Sunfood Superfoods by The merchant — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: 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:** 45/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Free from Peanuts, Soy, Shellfish, Dairy. Gluten Free. Start with ½ tsp to 1 tsp per day, mixed into smoothies”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim, and public evidence found is brand-level and company-level: the brand's About Us page lists Gluten Free among brand-wide attributes, and a certifier directory lists the brand NV Superfoods with at least one certified gluten-free product on file, though not this specific product. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), the claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification or specific test method, but the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten; batch-specific and independent product-level public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. For medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Free from Peanuts, Soy, Shellfish, Dairy. Gluten Free.”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page states the product is free from peanuts, soy, shellfish, and dairy, and is gluten free, and the brand's public materials describe general organic, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free standards. Batch-specific public evidence and any product-specific allergen-free certification were not retrieved in this assessment. Because "allergen-free" has no single US regulatory definition, this wording is limited to the specific allergens named in the public claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 18/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “California Residents: View our Prop 65 Warning Certified organic raw black maca root May contain a desiccant pack.”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a certified organic mark and the brand publicly states a general commitment to certified organic ingredients and CCOF certification, though this is brand-level information rather than product-specific. No independent certifier directory record for this product was retrieved in this assessment. Publicly supported is the presence of the mark and brand statements; not retrieved was batch-specific or certifier-directory confirmation.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Black Maca Powder Benefits Black Maca Powder Recipe non gmo proj 400x654 CCOF Organic Is Non GMO kosher 400x400”
- **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, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the product page's text mentions apple (not found in a structured ingredient list), 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. 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 (TilliT uses the US list, which approves more such crops than most markets) — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-23
- **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.
