# Raaka Chocolate Pure Cacao & Dates & Vanilla — 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)

Pure Cacao & Dates & Vanilla by Raaka Chocolate — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Partially Supported by Public Evidence; Vegan: 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:** 13/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and certified organic and kosher.”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and a brand help article says gluten does not contact the company's stone grinders, though that article does not name this product. Batch-specific public evidence and a GFCO listing for this brand were not retrieved in the sources checked, so independent product-level confirmation is not available here. 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; for medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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:** “All of our chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free, and certified organic and kosher.”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays an allergen-free claim stating the chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free and certified organic and kosher, and a brand help article describes a 75% Dark Madagascar bar with only cacao beans and cane juice and states no soy, dairy, gluten or nuts contact its stone grinders during small-batch manufacturing. These sources are brand- and facility-level, and batch-specific public evidence for the assessed product was not retrieved in this assessment. "Allergen-free" has no single US regulatory definition, so the claim is scoped to the specific allergens named.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (soy-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:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "badge-organic"”
- **Certifier named:** Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Public evidence shows the product page displays a recognized organic certification mark and a certifier lists Raaka Chocolate Inc. as certified at the company level, though that listing is not confirmed for this specific product. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This wording describes only what public sources show and does not confirm certification of this exact product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-06
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Natural Food Certifiers (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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 5/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** 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. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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.
