# Hodmedod's Whole Foods Porridge Oats, Organic, Gluten-free — 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)

Porridge Oats, Organic, Gluten-free by Hodmedod's Whole Foods — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Organic: 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:** 36/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Bean and Beetroot Burgers Porridge Oats, Organic, Gluten-free Size 500g 1kg - SAVE 10% 3kg - SAVE 20% 20kg - SAVE”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim with limited public support. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. 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. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Quinoa Granola Bean and Beetroot Burgers Porridge Oats, Organic, Gluten-free Size 500g 1kg - SAVE 10% 3kg - SAVE 20”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. This claim's own wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program (US)'s 'organic' labeling category (requires at least 95% organic content; may display the official organic seal).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the UK's primary organic certifier for a British brand, the Soil Association's own site, has been attempted, even though Hodmedod's is a UK company and Soil Association is the most likely certifier for a UK organic product.

## 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.
