# 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: Certification Match Found; 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 51/100
- **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 displays a Gluten-Free claim and a public certification record from GFCO appears to match this product or product family. This supports a strong public certification signal, but does not confirm this specific batch, which would require a review of the seller's own certificates or documents. Specifically, a certifier's records list this exact product as certified, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is company-level, product-level. 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. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **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 seller states this product is Allergen-Free. 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 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 Allergen-Free. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the product page's text mentions peanut, tree nut, milk, soy, may contain (not found in a structured ingredient list), 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. The precautionary allergen language on this product page states no quantitative basis — in the US, this kind of wording is voluntary, with no required threshold or testing behind it.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **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:** 2026-12-07
- **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.
