# Montezuma's Chocolate Nutterscotch - Milk Chocolate Almond & Butterscotch 300g 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.

## Overall (safe to quote)

Nutterscotch - Milk Chocolate Almond & Butterscotch 300g Bar by Montezuma's Chocolate — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Conflicting Public Evidence. These statuses reflect publicly available evidence only, not a review of the seller's own certificates or documents.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten Free Chocolate"”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Public sources conflict about this product's Gluten-Free claim. This is based on the product's own declared ingredient list ("wheat"). The claim should not be relied upon without further review. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information, and public sources conflict about this claim, so it should not be relied on without further review. The ingredient list itself names wheat, which conflicts with the Gluten-Free claim. Under the UK rules on gluten-free claims (retained Regulation (EU) No 828/2014), this claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certification program or specific test method, but the product must meet the legal definition (no more than 20 mg of gluten per kg). TilliT did not find independent public product-level testing or certification in the sources checked, so TilliT cannot independently confirm this claim today — that is a gap in public evidence, not a sign the label lacks legal support. 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.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of Coeliac UK's own site was attempted, even though this is a UK-made product and Coeliac UK is the most relevant national certifier/registry for a UK gluten-free claim.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “FREE FROM: COLOURINGS, GLUTEN, GM & PRESERVATIVES”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes soy, milk, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. Separately, the ingredient list includes wheat — the Non-GMO Project's own Monitored-Risk list (a real but lower signal than its High-Risk list, per the Project's own standard), included here for shoppers who want it, not as a contradiction of this claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **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.
