# Maskal Teff Organic Ivory Teff Grain (14 oz 6-pack) — 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)

Organic Ivory Teff Grain (14 oz 6-pack) by Maskal Teff — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Gluten-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:** 42/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “The difference? Teff is naturally gluten-free and a good source of essential vitamins and minerals”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the product is gluten-free, and the ingredient list shows a single inherently gluten-free grain (teff), which under FDA's rule at 21 CFR 101.91 may carry a gluten-free claim on the basis of the ingredient itself. The brand states its teff is processed in a dedicated gluten-free facility with each lot third-party lab verified at 5 ppm or less and Certified Gluten Free by SCS Global Services, though no batch-specific public evidence or GFCO listing was retrieved in the sources checked. TilliT did not independently verify this claim, and for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-09
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle states the brand claims 'Certified Gluten Free by SCS Global Services' but no check of SCS Global Services' own certified-products registry was attempted, which is the only path to an independent certifier match for the named certifier.

### Organic

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 76/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Organic Ivory Teff Grain (14 oz 6-pack) Organic Ivory Teff”
- **Certifier named:** Idaho State Department of Agriculture (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim, and the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists "The Teff Company" as certified by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, with a product listing for "Ivory Teff Grain" that exactly matches the assessed product name. A brand FAQ states organic teff is certified organic by the USDA, though a separate brand help article makes no organic certification claim. This public evidence is brand- and product-level and does not cover the exact package or lot in hand, which would require the seller's own certificates or documents.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Idaho State Department of Agriculture (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.

## 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.
