# Pascha Chocolate Co NEW! 70% Cacao Organic Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips with Coconut — 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)

NEW! 70% Cacao Organic Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips with Coconut by Pascha Chocolate Co — public trust assessment of 5 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Conflicting Public Evidence; 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:** 47/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of Pascha Chocolate's certifications. Gluten Free, Kosher, Non GMO Verified, USDA Organic Certified”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** Public evidence supports a gluten-free claim at the brand level: Pascha's own materials list gluten-free certification, and the GFCO directory lists at least one certified PASCHA product, though not this specific product. Public product-level testing or certification for this item was not retrieved in the sources checked, so the claim is not independently confirmed here; this reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a conclusion about the label. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), the claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, but the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten, 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:** The GFCO product list names "100% Cacao Organic Dark Chocolate", which is the product family, not specifically "NEW! 70% Cacao Organic Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips with Coconut"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **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:** “Our 70% Cacao Organic Vegan Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips with Coconut Sugar are free from peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, sesame, refined sugar, palm oil, and emulsifiers.”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The seller states this product is Allergen-Free; the product page lists it as free from peanuts, tree nuts, and gluten, and an Orthodox Union record classifies it as Pareve, while a brand help article lists 'free from' attributes but does not specifically address this coconut-containing product. Public evidence retrieved does not include batch-specific documentation, and 'allergen-free' has no single US regulatory definition, so the claim should be read as scoped to the specific allergens named. This reflects the seller's own statement and the cited public evidence, not independent certification of the product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 8 checks.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 50/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Show slide 5 Rating: 5.0 out of 5 (19) NEW! 70% Cacao Organic Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips with Coconut Sugar”
- **Certifier named:** Seeds Canada dba Centre for Systems Integration (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Organic claim with limited public support. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. An independent registry lists the company behind this claim as certified, but that listing is company-level, not confirmed for this exact product. 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). This product's own text states 70% organic content, below the 95% this tier requires — a labeling inconsistency worth resolving with the merchant.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **Limitation:** This product's own text states 70% organic content, which is below the 95% USDA National Organic Program (US) requires for its 'organic' tier — a labeling inconsistency worth resolving with the merchant, not proof of either figure.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Seeds Canada dba Centre for Systems Integration (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.
- **Limitation:** The Seeds Canada dba Centre for Systems Integration (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "Dark Chocolate 70% Cacao", which is the product family, not specifically "NEW! 70% Cacao Organic Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips with Coconut"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Conflict detected — review pending (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Coconut Palm Sugar and Organic Deodorized Cocoa Butter (Vegan). Allergens Our 70% Cacao Organic Vegan Bitter-Sweet”
- **Certifier named:** Vegan Action
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Public sources conflict about this product's Vegan claim. This is based on the product's own declared ingredient list ("turkey"). The claim should not be relied upon without further review. Specifically, a certifier's records list this exact product as certified, and the product page displays a recognized certification mark. The ingredient list itself names turkey, which conflicts with the Vegan claim. 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. Vegan Action's standard: Explicitly allows trace cross-contamination where shared-equipment cleaning steps are followed, to avoid excluding otherwise animal-free products.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-12
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Vegan Action 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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 41/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Pascha Chocolate's certifications. Gluten Free, Kosher, Non GMO Verified, USDA Organic Certified, Rainforest Alliance”
- **Certifier named:** Non-GMO Project
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim, and a certifier lists the Pascha brand as Non-GMO Project Verified, though that listing is brand-level and not confirmed for this specific product; batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Publicly available information also notes that USDA Organic certification excludes genetic engineering, and that none of the listed ingredients appear to be among crop types with a commercially available genetically modified counterpart on the US list. This wording describes only what public sources show and does not represent any verification by TilliT.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-10
- **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:** The Non-GMO Project product list names "Organic Dark Chocolate 70% Cacao", which is the product family, not specifically "NEW! 70% Cacao Organic Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips with Coconut"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **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.
