# 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 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Partially Supported by Public Evidence; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Allergen-Free: Limited Public Support.

## Claims checked

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: soy free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page states a "soy free" claim, and a Raaka help article says in-house manufacturing keeps soy, dairy, gluten and nuts away from its stone grinders, though that article does not name this specific product. US law has no single regulatory definition of "allergen-free," so such claims must be scoped to specific allergens, and batch-specific public evidence for this product was not retrieved. This reflects the seller's own statement and general brand information, not independent confirmation or third-party certification.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **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:** Partially Supported by Public Evidence (`public_corroboration_moderate`)
- **Evidence strength:** 51/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “taste the naturally fruity flavor of cacao. Organic All of our chocolate is gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free”
- **Certifier named:** Natural Food Certifiers (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Raaka Chocolate publicly presents this product as Organic and some public evidence supports the claim, but the evidence scope is incomplete. 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, ingredient-level, product family-level. Product-specific and 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).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02
- **Limitation:** This claim's own wording scopes it to a specific ingredient, not the whole product — organic / fair-trade certification can apply to one ingredient without the finished product itself being certified, and the page shows no whole-product certification (no seal, no "certified organic" statement).
- **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:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “.. Show More Us Them Organic Of Course! Sometimes Vegan Yup! Nope Allergen Friendly Yes! Nope Transparent”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Vegan. In the main markets TilliT checks (the US, the EU, the UK, Canada and Australia), this kind of Vegan 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 Vegan. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The product page's description mentions milk — worth confirming against the actual ingredient label for a Vegan claim, though it was not found in the ingredient list itself. In the main markets TilliT checks, this claim can legally be self-declared, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **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.
