# 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 - **Sold at:** dandelionchocolate.com - **Product page:** https://dandelionchocolate.com/products/zorzal-comunitario-dominican-republic-70-chocolate-bar-japan - **Assessment ID:** pta_bf739c815f90450395f1e67eaa14490f - **Assessed:** 2026-10-30 - **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_bf739c815f90450395f1e67eaa14490f ## 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: 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:** 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 product page publicly displays a gluten-free claim, and the sources checked did not retrieve independent product-level testing or a GFCO certification listing for this brand. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and does not require third-party certification, though the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. This summary describes only what the public evidence shows and does not constitute verification of the claim. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28 - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks. - **Limitation:** Self-review note: Only GFCO's certified-products page was checked; no other certifier registries (e.g. Celiac Support Association, National Celiac Association, Coeliac UK, GIG, NSF, SCS, etc.) were searched, so a certification match under a different certifier remains unexamined. ### 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 product page states the bar is free of peanut, soy, and tree nut allergens, and a brand article describes two-ingredient chocolate sourcing, though that article does not name this specific bar or address allergen content. No batch-specific public evidence was retrieved in this assessment, and 'allergen-free' has no single US regulatory definition, so the claim is scoped to the specific allergens listed. This wording does not indicate third-party certification or independent verification of the claim. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29 - **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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 38/100 - **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:** The product page displays a vegan claim; public evidence retrieved is brand- and company-level, including a certifier catalog listing at least one Dandelion product and a brand article describing two-ingredient chocolate, but neither names this specific Zorzal Comunitario bar. Product-level and batch-specific public evidence for this bar was not retrieved in this assessment. Vegan claims can be self-declared in the US without required independent testing, and Vegan Action's standard allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29 - **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_bf739c815f90450395f1e67eaa14490f - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_bf739c815f90450395f1e67eaa14490f/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_bf739c815f90450395f1e67eaa14490f/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_bf739c815f90450395f1e67eaa14490f/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.
