# Spicewalla Tidewater Grain Co - Santee Gold Brown Rice — 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)

Tidewater Grain Co - Santee Gold Brown Rice by Spicewalla — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): 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:** 13/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “It's non-gmo, all-natural and gluten free. Grown and milled on our family farm in Eastern North”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the item is gluten free, and FDA's rule (21 CFR 101.91) allows this voluntary claim without third-party certification or a specific test method, provided the product meets the under-20-ppm definition. In the sources checked, no independent certificate, product-level testing, or ingredient list was retrieved for this exact item, and a GFCO certified-products page check found no match for Spicewalla. This reflects a gap in the public evidence retrieved, not a finding that the label lacks support; for medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **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: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the actual farm/miller's own website or the product page's own 'grown and milled on our family farm' sourcing claim has been attempted to confirm the product identity (Tidewater Grain Co / Santee Gold Brown Rice) and whether that producer holds any gluten-free certification, which is the

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “an heirloom rice with a distinct nutty flavor. It's non-gmo, all-natural and gluten free. Grown and milled on”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the rice is non-GMO, and public evidence retrieved is limited to brand-level and company-level information; batch-specific evidence and an independent certifier record were not retrieved in this assessment. The Non-GMO Project's Monitored-Risk list includes rice, noted here as context for shoppers rather than as a contradiction of the claim. This wording describes what public sources show and does not confirm the claim's accuracy.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **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.
