# Mariposa Baking Co. Parisien Melt — 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)

Parisien Melt by Mariposa Baking Co. — 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:** 16/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "gluten-free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "gluten-free" tag, and Mariposa Baking Co. publicly states it is a dedicated gluten-free bakery whose baked goods are gluten-free, though these statements do not name the Parisien Melt specifically. No independent product-level testing or certification for this exact item was retrieved, and no match for Mariposa Baking was found on the GFCO certified products page checked; the ingredient list was also not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) the claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, so the absence of retrieved independent evidence reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a conclusion about the product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 16/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: peanut free, soy free, tree nut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page states the item is free of peanuts, soy, and tree nuts, and the brand publicly describes itself as a dedicated gluten-free bakery; no independent allergen-free certificate for this exact item was found in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. "Allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition in the US, so the claim is best read as scoped to the specific allergens listed. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance.
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (peanut-free, soy-free, tree-nut-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.

## 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.
