# Navitas Semi-sweet Cacao Wafers — 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)

Semi-sweet Cacao Wafers by Navitas — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; Allergen-Free: Limited Public Support; Fair Trade: 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:** 42/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “All of our products are inherently gluten-free and are tested to ensure less than 20 parts per million”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the products are inherently gluten-free and tested to under 20 ppm, and a certifier directory lists the brand Navitas Organics with at least one certified gluten-free product on file, though not this specific product. Public evidence retrieved was brand-level rather than product- or batch-specific, and no independent product-level testing or certification for this item was found in the sources checked. 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:** 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: dairy free, soy free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a claim of being free of dairy and soy, and the available ingredient statement and applicable evidence were reviewed without finding anything that contradicts that scoped claim. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved, and no third-party certification is stated or implied. Because "allergen-free" has no single US regulatory definition, this wording is limited to the specific allergens named on the page.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-free, 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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 44/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Purpose Our Growers Our Story Recipes Learn Regenerative Organic Superfoods 101 Blog Recipes Help Center Shipping/Returns”
- **Certifier named:** Control Union Certifications B.V. (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 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).
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Control Union Certifications B.V. (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.
- **Limitation:** The Control Union Certifications B.V. (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "60% cacao wafers*", which is the product family, not specifically "Semi-sweet Cacao Wafers"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 44/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Featured Best Sellers On Sale Bundles New Products Fairtrade Cacao Store Locator Subscribe & Save About Our Purpose”
- **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade 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 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. Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)'s standard: Fairtrade International is the standard-setter behind the Fairtrade Mark; FLOCERT performs the actual certification audits on a 3-year cycle. Certifies both small-producer cooperatives and hired-labour plantations (tea, bananas, cut flowers) under separate standards, each with its own minimum price floor and fixed per-unit Fairtrade Premium; independent research has found premium tracking below the cooperative/plantation level is limited. Independent research has found that fair-trade premiums do not always reach hired workers directly, and certifying bodies do not routinely monitor how the premium is spent once it reaches a cooperative or producer — this is a general limitation of fair-trade premium tracking industry-wide, not a finding specific to this product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-01
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

## 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.
