# Smith Teamaker Soothe Sayer — 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)

Soothe Sayer by Smith Teamaker — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Vegan: Conflicting Public Evidence; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “When Available Plant Based Sachet Zero Microplastics Gluten Free Details Preparation Ingredients To soothe your throat”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Gluten-Free. In the main markets TilliT checks (the US, the EU, the UK, Canada and Australia), this kind of Gluten-Free claim can be made without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is the seller's own statement, not independent confirmation, and not a statement that the product is third-party certified. The public-evidence score describes how much independent proof was found; it does not mean the product is not Gluten-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Gluten-free rules differ by country: the US and EU allow the claim below 20 ppm (20 mg per kg) gluten, while Australia and New Zealand require no detectable gluten. None of them requires a third-party certification program. 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:** 2026-12-05
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the major gluten-free certifier registries beyond GFCO (e.g. Celiac Support Association, National Celiac Association, GIG, NSF, SCS, Coeliac UK) has been attempted for this brand, and one of these could yield a stronger certifier match than the single GFCO 'no match'.

### Organic

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Blend: No. 15 Numerology Soothe Sayer CAFFEINE-FREE ORGANIC WELLNESS TEA Subscribe & Save 5%”
- **Certifier named:** CCOF Certification Services, LLC (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Organic claim and a public certification record from CCOF Certification Services, LLC (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) 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 brand-level, 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. 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:** 2026-12-03
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured CCOF Certification Services, LLC (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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Our Sachets have Cachet Our sachets are crafted from plant-based material and sealed using soundwave technology — no”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page's "plant-based" wording refers to sachet and packaging materials, not to the tea's ingredients, and no explicit Vegan claim appears on the product page. The declared ingredient list names honey, and no Vegan Action (vegan.org) listing for Smith Teamaker was found in the checked public text. TilliT has not verified this claim; the publicly available evidence does not establish Vegan status.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **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.
