# Elmhurst 1925 Plant-Based Sea Salt Chocolate Protein Shake — 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)

Plant-Based Sea Salt Chocolate Protein Shake by Elmhurst 1925 — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; Allergen-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:** 45/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “and GMOs? Yes! All of our products are FDA approved gluten free and Non-GMO Project Verified. 2. Do i have to keep”
- **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 FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certification program or specific test method, but the product must meet the legal definition (under 20 ppm gluten). 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:** 2026-11-20
- **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.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Claim supported. This kind of Allergen-Free claim can be made in the US without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is 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 Allergen-Free. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Plant-Based Sea Salt Chocolate Protein Shake Plant-Based Sea Salt”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Claim supported. This kind of Vegan claim can be made in the US without a third-party certificate. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and the applicable evidence and found nothing that contradicts it. This is 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 Vegan. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the product page did not use the word "Vegan" itself — this assessment was triggered by a related but distinct term (e.g. "plant-based"), not an explicit Vegan claim. The product page's description mentions cream — worth confirming against the actual ingredient label for a Vegan claim, though it was not found in the ingredient list itself. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **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:** 18/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our products are FDA approved gluten free and Non-GMO Project Verified. 2. Do i have to keep this refrigerated”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO Project Verified certification mark and the brand's FAQ states all its products are verified by the Non-GMO Project, which is a brand-wide claim rather than batch-specific evidence for this product. Batch-specific public evidence and an independent certifier record for this product were not retrieved in this assessment. Publicly available information does not establish that this claim was independently confirmed for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No attempt was made to query the Non-GMO Project's own Product Finder/registry for the specific Sea Salt Chocolate Clean Protein shake (or Elmhurst 1925 as a brand), which is the only public path to an independent certifier match for the named certification.

## 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.
