# Alter Eco Foods Mint Crème Truffles (60 Piece) — 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.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten-Free"”
- **Certifier named:** Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) 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 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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

### Organic

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “" icon-X icon-chevron icon-X Mint Crème Chocolate Organic Truffles | 60-Piece Box | Alter Eco Back to top mint”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays an Organic claim. The Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) record for this certified operation lists 'Chocolate - Truffle Thins Mint Creme (84g)', and this product appears to be a size, pack or format variation of that item. This supports the claim at the product-line level, but does not confirm this specific product or batch, which would require the seller's own certificate or documents. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product family-level, product-level. An independent registry lists the company behind this claim as certified, but that listing is company-level, not confirmed for this exact product. 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:** 2026-12-02
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Quality Assurance International (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.
- **Limitation:** This product states a non-US origin (Switzerland). For imported organic products the certified operation is usually a foreign exporter or handler, and the US import certificate itself is not a public record. TilliT checked the applicable foreign organic registers; a US-only registry search cannot be expected to find the operation.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “of Madagascar vanilla. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients & Nutrition Panels”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: 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 milk, which may warrant further verification for a Non-GMO claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “oil, *organic vanilla beans. *Fair for Life Fair Trade certified. Contains 93.7% Fair Trade ingredients”
- **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Fair for Life Fair Trade claim and states 93.7% Fair Trade ingredients, and a public certifier registry lists Alter Eco Foods LLC as FLOCERT-certified for categories including cocoa and oilseeds, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. Public evidence retrieved was brand- and company-level; batch-specific or product-specific certification evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Independent research notes general limits on premium tracking below the cooperative or producer level, which is an industry-wide observation and not a finding about this product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-12
- **Limitation:** The fair-trade mark shown on this product is Fair Trade USA, but the only registry TilliT can search for this claim is Fairtrade International — a different, separately-run certification scheme. This scheme publishes no searchable public directory, so its certification can't be confirmed or ruled out from public data.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

## 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.
