# Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood – Sunfood Superfoods — 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)

Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood – Sunfood Superfoods by The merchant — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Certification Match Found; 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:** 44/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “QUALITY INGREDIENTS: Certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher, with no fillers, additives, preservatives”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the item is gluten-free, and a certifier directory lists the brand "NV Superfoods" with at least one certified gluten-free product on file, though not this specific product; a brand "About Us" page also lists gluten-free among brand-wide attributes. Public evidence found is brand- and company-level, and batch-specific or product-level public testing or certification for this item was not retrieved in the sources checked. Gluten-free thresholds differ by country (under 20 ppm in the US and EU; no detectable gluten in Australia and New Zealand), and for medical use rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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: peanut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Allergen-Free. In the main markets TilliT checks (the US, the EU, the UK, Canada and Australia), this kind of Allergen-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 Allergen-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the product page's text mentions milk, may contain (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Allergen-Free claim. In the main markets TilliT checks, this claim can legally be self-declared, with no required independent testing. The precautionary allergen language on this product page references a quantitative framework (e.g. VITAL reference doses), rather than an unquantified "may contain" statement.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("Hormonal Balance 1 · Allergen Statement Packaged in a facility that also processes celery, mustard, sesame, and tree nuts Free of: Peanuts, Soy, Shellfish, Dairy Black Maca Powder, 4oz Bag 37 Servings - Sunfood – Sunfood Superfoods…") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("Submit Get 20% Off Your privacy choices Allergen Statement Packaged in a facility that also processes celery, mustard, sesame, and tree nuts Free of: Peanuts, Soy, Shellfish, Dairy About Us Nourishing People Through the Power of Real Sup…") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 18/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Mixes Supergreens Supergreens & Protein Superlattes Organic Red & Green Nuts, Seeds, Snacks ▾ Brazil Nuts Cashews”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and 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. 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:** 2026-12-09
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 73/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “CLEAN, QUALITY INGREDIENTS: Certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher, with no fillers, additives”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim and a public certification record from Non-GMO Project 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. Non-GMO Project's standard: The Non-GMO Project sets four different Action Thresholds, not one: 0.9% for goods for human or pet use that are ingested or topically applied (including OTC drugs and homeopathic remedies); 0.25% for seed and vegetative propagation materials; 5% for livestock, poultry, bee, and seafood feed and supplements (may be a quarterly average); and 1.5% for goods that are not ingested or topically applied (e.g. packaging, cleaning supplies, textiles). Requires ongoing lot-level testing of Testable High-Risk major inputs — not a self-declared claim — with documented alternative compliance pathways (affidavits for non-testable inputs, country-of-origin reductions, periodic averaging). Requires annual renewal evaluation of every Verified Product; onsite inspection is required annually where Parallel Processing of the same major High-Risk input occurs, and may be required at the technical administrator's discretion otherwise. Non-GMO is accurate for this product, but none of its listed ingredients (e.g. corn, soy, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, papaya, eggplant, pineapple, zucchini, potato, or animal-derived inputs such as meat, dairy, or egg) are among the crop types or inputs with a commercially available genetically modified/GMO-fed counterpart (TilliT uses the US list, which approves more such crops than most markets) — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-18
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Non-GMO Project 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: 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.
