# 88 Acres Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) — 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)

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Seed + Oat Bars (9 Bars) by 88 Acres — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Certification Match Found; Gluten-Free: Certification Match Found; 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 89/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our Seed + Oat Bars are certified gluten free! This certification ensures that those with gluten”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from GFCO 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. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-12
- **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:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured GFCO 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.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “and chocolate chips. Made with wholesome, top 9 allergen-free ingredients, it’s a plant-based snack that satisfies”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Allergen-Free. Certification is optional for this kind of claim, and TilliT did not find an independent Allergen-Free certificate for this exact item in the sources checked. TilliT could not retrieve the ingredient list, so it has not completed an ingredient check. The public-evidence score describes how much independent proof was found; it does not mean the product is not Allergen-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. 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. This claim is scoped to US allergen regulation — this covers the US 9 only; it does not address celery, mustard, lupin, molluscs or sulfites, which the EU and FSANZ separately regulate.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-15
- **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: 8 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 77/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “9 allergen-free ingredients, it’s a plant-based snack that satisfies anytime—morning, midday, or on”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Vegan claim and a public certification record from Vegan Action 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 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Note: the product page did not use the word "Vegan" itself — this assessment was triggered by a related but distinct term (e.g. "plant-based"), not an explicit Vegan claim. 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. 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:** 2027-01-11
- **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:** 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.
