# Dandelion Chocolate Tokyo Gâteau — 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)

Tokyo Gâteau by Dandelion Chocolate — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): 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:** 14/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “to one month. These cakes also freeze beautifully. Gluten free Nut free Peanut free Tokyo Gâteau”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page publicly displays a gluten-free claim, and the sources checked did not include independent product-level testing or a third-party certificate for this product. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) allows this voluntary claim without third-party certification, provided the product meets the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment, so this describes the public evidence found and not a verification of the claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for wheat / gluten grains ("INGREDIENTS & ALLERGENS Dandelion Chocolate Japan 70% chocolate (cocoa beans from Anamalai, India, and Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic, organic cane sugar), butter, organic cane sugar, eggs Contains: milk, eggs Made in a facility …") — a real caveat worth checking against the gluten-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "wheat / gluten grains-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what gluten-free certification checks.
- **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:** “Gluten free Nut free Peanut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Claim supported. This kind of Allergen-Free 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 Allergen-Free. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes milk, egg, which may warrant further verification for a Allergen-Free claim. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free, tree-nut-free), not a blanket allergen-free claim — it says nothing about allergens it does not name.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("INGREDIENTS & ALLERGENS Dandelion Chocolate Japan 70% chocolate (cocoa beans from Anamalai, India, and Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic, organic cane sugar), butter, organic cane sugar, eggs Contains: milk, eggs Made in a facility …") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for tree nuts ("INGREDIENTS & ALLERGENS Dandelion Chocolate Japan 70% chocolate (cocoa beans from Anamalai, India, and Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic, organic cane sugar), butter, organic cane sugar, eggs Contains: milk, eggs Made in a facility …") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "tree nuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification checks.
- **Limitation:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for peanuts ("Contains: milk, eggs Made in a facility that also processes milk, wheat, eggs, peanuts, soy, sesame, tree nuts (almonds, hazelnuts) Skip to content Need help?") — a real caveat worth checking against the allergen-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "peanuts-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what allergen-free certification 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.
