# Primal Kitchen Unsweetened Red Pizza Sauce — 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)

Unsweetened Red Pizza Sauce by Primal Kitchen — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-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:** 50/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "gluten-free"”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free tag, and a certifier directory lists the Primal Kitchen brand with at least one certified gluten-free product on file, though not this specific product; a brand help article also states its condiments, dressings, and sauces are made without gluten, without naming this product. Public evidence found is brand-level and company-level, and batch-specific or product-level public testing or certification for this item was not retrieved 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.

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 52/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “INFORMATION FOR CALORIE & SUGAR AL EN ENED NCE 10 OIL ORGANIC CALIFORNIA GROWN TOMATOES NO ADDED SUGAR NOT A LOW”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (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 brand-level, 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 Quality Assurance International (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:** 14/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "Vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "Vegan" tag, and a brand help article states its condiments and sauces are made without dairy, though it does not name the Unsweetened Red Pizza Sauce specifically. No match for Primal Kitchen was found on the public Vegan Action page, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This claim can be self-declared in the US without a third-party certificate, and this is not a statement that the product is third-party certified.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 13/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “and once opened in the refrigerator. It comes from a Non-GMO food source, which is proprietary at this time. Choosing”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Separately, the ingredient list includes tomato — the Non-GMO Project's own Monitored-Risk list (a real but lower signal than its High-Risk list, per the Project's own standard), included here for shoppers who want it, not as a contradiction of this claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. Non-GMO is accurate for this product, but none of its listed ingredients (e.g. corn, soy, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, papaya, eggplant, pineapple, zucchini, potato, or animal-derived inputs such as meat, dairy, or egg) are among the crop types or inputs with a commercially available genetically modified/GMO-fed counterpart (TilliT uses the US list, which approves more such crops than most markets) — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-23
- **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.
