# 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 for the Single-Origin Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, and FDA's rule (21 CFR 101.91) allows this voluntary claim without third-party certification, provided the product meets the under-20-ppm definition. No independent product-level testing or certification for this exact item was found in the sources checked, including the public GFCO certified products page, and the brand help articles reviewed did not address gluten content. This reflects a gap in retrieved public evidence rather than a conclusion about the label, so for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02
- **Limitation:** The ingredients could only be read from the product description's prose, not a labelled ingredient statement; the ingredient screen is incomplete and cannot confirm or rule out a conflicting ingredient.
- **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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 39/100
- **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:** The product page displays a Vegan claim with limited public support. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. 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:** 2026-12-02
- **Limitation:** The ingredients could only be read from the product description's prose, not a labelled ingredient statement; the ingredient screen is incomplete and cannot confirm or rule out a conflicting ingredient.
- **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.
