# Carrington Farms Organic Crounons - Garlic Parmesan — 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)

Organic Crounons - Garlic Parmesan by Carrington Farms — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-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:** 14/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Gluten Free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Gluten Free" tag, and the sources checked did not include independent product-level testing or a GFCO listing for Carrington Farms. FDA's rule (21 CFR 101.91) allows this voluntary claim without third-party certification, provided the product meets the under-20 ppm definition, but that product-level confirmation was not retrieved. Public evidence therefore supports that the claim appears on the product page and that no contradicting information was found, not that the claim has been independently verified.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 17/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “free snack! 100% YUM...0% Guilt! EASY TO ENJOY – Organic, Gluten Free & Vegan crouton alternative. QUINOA BASE”
- **Certifier named:** QAI
- **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:** 2026-11-20
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Vegan" tag, and the available ingredient statement and applicable evidence were reviewed without finding anything that contradicts it; this is not a statement that the product is third-party certified. The brand's public "About Us" page describes its mission and sustainability pledge but contains no information about this specific product or its ingredients, and no match for the brand was found on the public Vegan Action page. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved, and "Vegan" is not defined by US food regulation, though certifier programs define no-animal-ingredient and no-animal-testing criteria.
- **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:** 8/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Non-GMO"”
- **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. Separately, the ingredient list includes banana, pea — the Non-GMO Project's own Monitored-Risk list (a real but lower signal than its High-Risk list, per the Project's own standard), included here for shoppers who want it, not as a contradiction of this claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. 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.

- **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.
