# Dandelion Chocolate Japan DCJ - Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic 70% 2024 Harvest Single-Origin Chocolate Bar — 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. ## Product - **Brand:** Dandelion Chocolate Japan - **Product:** DCJ - Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic 70% 2024 Harvest Single-Origin Chocolate Bar - **GTIN:** 4582529600191 - **Sold at:** dandelionchocolate.com - **Product page:** https://dandelionchocolate.com/products/zorzal-comunitario-dominican-republic-70-chocolate-bar-japan - **Assessment ID:** pta_ac1e2272a5ec4f0880fc6e17338a88d0 - **Assessed:** 2026-11-05 - **Last reviewed:** n/a - **Review mode:** Not final · review pending ⚠️ At least one claim here is **preliminary** — a person is still reviewing it; see the per-claim status. - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.4 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_ac1e2272a5ec4f0880fc6e17338a88d0 ## Overall (safe to quote) DCJ - Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic 70% 2024 Harvest Single-Origin Chocolate Bar by Dandelion Chocolate Japan — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Conflicting Public Evidence; 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:** 14/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “ready to enjoy for many months. Vegan Gluten Free Nut Free Soy Free Two Ingredients Direct Sourced 70” - **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is gluten-free, and the available product page shows that claim; under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) such a claim is voluntary and does not require third-party certification, though the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. The public GFCO certified products page was checked and no match for Dandelion Chocolate Japan or Dandelion was found in its fetchable text, and no independent public product-level testing or certification was retrieved in this assessment. This is the seller's own statement, not independent confirmation by TilliT, and for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04 - **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:** “Claims free of: peanut free, soy free, tree nut free” - **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is allergen-free, specifically claiming it is free of peanut, soy, and tree nut. TilliT reviewed the available ingredient statement and public evidence, which did not address allergens for the assessed bar, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. This is the seller's own statement, not independent confirmation or third-party certification. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27 - **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free, soy-free, tree-nut-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. ### Vegan - **Status:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`) - **Claim observed on the page:** “will remain ready to enjoy for many months. Vegan Gluten Free Nut Free Soy Free Two Ingredients Direct” - **Certifier named:** Vegan Action - **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Public sources conflict about this product's Vegan claim. This is based on the product's own declared ingredient list ("ghee"). The claim should not be relied upon without further review. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. The ingredient list itself names ghee, which conflicts with the Vegan claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing. Vegan Action's standard: Explicitly allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed, to avoid excluding otherwise animal-free products. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-05 - **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Vegan Action 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: 6 checks. ## Not claimed on this page Organic, Non-GMO, Fair Trade. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_ac1e2272a5ec4f0880fc6e17338a88d0 - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_ac1e2272a5ec4f0880fc6e17338a88d0/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_ac1e2272a5ec4f0880fc6e17338a88d0/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_ac1e2272a5ec4f0880fc6e17338a88d0/history ## 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.
