# Montezuma's Chocolate Milk Chocolate Bar Library — 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)

Milk Chocolate Bar Library by Montezuma's Chocolate — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; 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:** 9/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten Free Chocolate"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Gluten Free Chocolate" tag, and the brand's public pages describe its West Sussex factory and ethical sourcing certifications, but no statement was found there about this specific bar being gluten-free. No match for Montezuma's Chocolate was found in the fetchable text of the GFCO certified products page or Coeliac UK's site, and no product-level testing, ingredient list, or batch-specific public evidence was retrieved. Under UK rules a gluten-free claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certificate, provided the product meets the legal limit of no more than 20 mg of gluten per kg; for medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **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: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of Coeliac UK's own site was attempted, which is the most relevant certifier/registry for a UK-made chocolate brand making a gluten-free claim, and could yield a stronger match than the GFCO directory alone.

### 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 "FREE FROM: COLOURINGS, GLUTEN, GM & PRESERVATIVES" statement, and public evidence retrieved is brand-level and company-level rather than product- or batch-specific. No independent certifier record backing a non-GMO claim for this product was found in this assessment, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved. Publicly available information therefore does not by itself establish the claim for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **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: 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.
