# 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

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 42/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Mint Crème Truffles (60 Piece) Mint Crème Chocolate Organic Truffles | 60-Piece Box | Alter Eco – Alter”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim, and a certifier lists the brand's company (Alter Eco Foods, LLC) as certified, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. Public evidence found is brand- and company-level, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The claim's wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's 'organic' labeling category, which requires at least 95% organic content and may display the official organic seal.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-19
- **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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “of Madagascar vanilla. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients &”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: An earlier version of TilliT's ingredient reader reported an ingredient conflict for this claim. That reader is known to have misread some product pages (for example, serving suggestions or 'suitable for' statements), so this conclusion is withheld until the product is re-checked with the corrected rules.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-16
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “of Madagascar vanilla. *Wrapped in plant-based, non GMO, compostable wrappers! Ingredients & Nutrition”
- **Safe citation wording:** 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. Note: the product page's text mentions apple (not found in a structured ingredient list), 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:** 2026-11-19
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 53/100
- **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:** The product page displays a Fair for Life Fair Trade claim and states 93.7% Fair Trade ingredients, and the brand's About page describes small-scale fair trade farmers; a certifier listing was found at brand/company level, but no product- or batch-specific public evidence was retrieved in this assessment. Public sources note that fair-trade certification can apply to specific ingredients via mass balance rather than the whole product, so the scope of this claim was not confirmed. General research on fair-trade premium tracking describes industry-wide limitations in monitoring premium distribution below the cooperative or producer level, which is not a finding specific to this product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-01-16
- **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.
