# Raaka Chocolate Apple Crisp Dark Chocolate — 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)

Apple Crisp Dark Chocolate by Raaka Chocolate — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; 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:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and certified organic and kosher.”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states that all of the brand's chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free and certified organic and kosher, and a brand help article says gluten never contacts its stone grinders, though that article does not name this product; no batch-specific public evidence or GFCO listing for Raaka Chocolate was retrieved in the sources checked. The ingredient list includes oat, which may warrant further verification for a gluten-free claim. Public sources checked did not include independent product-level testing or certification, so this claim is not independently confirmed here, 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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and certified organic and kosher.”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and a brand help article says these allergens do not contact the company's stone grinders, though that article does not name this product. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved, and the ingredient list includes oat, which may warrant further verification for an allergen-free claim. "Allergen-free" has no single US regulatory definition, so the claim is best read as scoped to the specific allergens named.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (soy-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Choco Crisp Dark Chocolate' as Dairy (containing dairy ingredients under Jewish dietary law) — worth checking against this product's own dairy-free/allergen-free claim, not proof that the claim is false on its own (kosher classification and allergen labeling are governed by different rules and can genuinely diverge in edge cases).
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 80/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "badge-organic"”
- **Certifier named:** Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) appears to match this product or product family. This supports a strong public certification signal, but does not confirm this specific batch, which would require a review of the seller's own certificates or documents. Specifically, a certifier's records list this exact product as certified, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. This claim is backed by a certifier that evaluates products against a published standard — using documentation, supply-chain traceability, and testing of high-risk inputs where the standard requires it. That is not the same as testing every finished product, and this public evidence does not cover the exact package or lot in your hand. This claim's own wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program (US)'s 'organic' labeling category (requires at least 95% organic content; may display the official organic seal).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.
- **Limitation:** The Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "Apple Crisp", which is the product family, not specifically "Apple Crisp Dark Chocolate"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **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:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller's product page displays a "Vegan" tag, and a Raaka brand help article describes the company's general approach and notes that no soy, dairy, gluten or nuts contact their stone grinders, though that article does not address this specific product. No match for Raaka Chocolate was found in the fetchable text of the public Vegan Action (vegan.org) page, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The ingredient list includes sugar, which may warrant further verification for a Vegan claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **Limitation:** The Orthodox Union's own kosher product records classify 'Choco Crisp Dark Chocolate' 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:** 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.
