# Raaka Chocolate Pure Cacao & Dates & Vanilla — 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)

Pure Cacao & Dates & Vanilla by Raaka Chocolate — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Partially Supported by Public Evidence; 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 the brand's chocolate is gluten-free, and a brand help article describes shared-equipment practices, but neither source provides product-specific testing or certification for Pure Cacao & Dates & Vanilla, and no GFCO listing for Raaka Chocolate was found in the sources checked. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) allows this voluntary claim without third-party certification, provided the product meets the defined threshold of under 20 ppm gluten. This is a gap in retrieved public evidence rather than a finding about the label itself; 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 certified organic and kosher, and a brand help article says in-house small-batch manufacturing keeps soy, dairy, gluten, and nuts away from the stone grinders, though that article does not name this product. Batch-specific public evidence for the Pure Cacao & Dates & Vanilla product was not retrieved in this assessment. In the US, allergen-free claims can be self-declared without required independent testing, and the term has no single regulatory definition, so the claim should be 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:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Partially Supported by Public Evidence (`public_corroboration_moderate`)
- **Evidence strength:** 49/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "badge-organic"”
- **Certifier named:** Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Public sources show a certifier lists Raaka Chocolate Inc. as certified and the product page displays a recognized organic certification mark, but this evidence is brand- and company-level rather than specific to this product. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The claim's wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's 'organic' labeling category, which requires at least 95% organic content and permits display of 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:** 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 brand help article describes a two-ingredient bar and a facility that avoids soy, dairy, gluten, and nut contact with stone grinders, though that article does not address the assessed product directly. No match for Raaka Chocolate was found in the fetchable text of the Vegan Action (vegan.org) page, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. "Vegan" is not defined by US food regulation, so this remains the seller's own statement rather than independent confirmation.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **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.
