# Dandelion Chocolate Single-Origin Chocolate Hazelnut Spread — 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)

Single-Origin Chocolate Hazelnut Spread by Dandelion Chocolate — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: 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:** 14/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “to enjoy with several weeks of arrival. Vegan Gluten free Single-Origin Chocolate Hazelnut Spread”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim, and the sources checked did not include independent product-level testing or a GFCO certification listing for the brand. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) is voluntary and requires the product to meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten, without mandating third-party certification. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved, so this reflects what public sources do and do not show, not a verification of the claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for wheat / gluten grains ("INGREDIENTS & ALLERGENS 70% chocolate (cocoa beans from Camino Verde, Ecuador, organic cane sugar), hazelnuts, organic cane sugar, hazelnut oil Contains: tree nuts (hazelnuts) Made in a facility that also processes eggs, milk, peanuts, t…") — a real caveat worth checking against the gluten-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "wheat / gluten grains-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what gluten-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for wheat / gluten grains ("Ingredients and Allergens Ingredients: 70% chocolate (cocoa beans from Camino Verde, Ecuador, organic cane sugar), hazelnuts, organic cane sugar, hazelnut oil Contains: tree nuts (hazelnuts) Made in a facility that also processes eggs, m…") — a real caveat worth checking against the gluten-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "wheat / gluten grains-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what gluten-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 38/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “to enjoy with several weeks of arrival. Vegan Gluten free Single-Origin Chocolate Hazelnut Spread”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** Public evidence includes a product-page vegan claim and a certifier catalog listing at least one Dandelion product, which is brand-level rather than product-specific; one independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. Vegan can be self-declared in the US without required independent testing, and Vegan Action's standard explicitly allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed. This wording describes only what the cited public evidence shows and does not confirm the product's vegan status.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (400g)' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own vegan claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and a vegan claim are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **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.

## 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.
