# The Greater Knead Gluten Free Pumpkin Bagels — 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)

Gluten Free Pumpkin Bagels by The Greater Knead — public trust assessment of 4 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Gluten-Free: Limited Public Support; Allergen-Free: Certification Match Found. 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:** 38/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “with the delectable taste of our New York-style gluten free pumpkin bagel! The warm and earthy aroma of pumpkin”
- **Certifier named:** GFCO
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Gluten-Free claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, facility-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and needs no third-party certification program or specific test method, but the product must meet the legal definition (under 20 ppm gluten). TilliT did not find independent public product-level testing or certification in the sources checked, so TilliT cannot independently confirm this claim today — that is a gap in public evidence, not a sign the label lacks legal support. For medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance. GFCO's standard: Stricter than the FDA's own <20 ppm labeling rule.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-03
- **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:** 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:** “and comforting breakfast. Always gluten-free, top 9 allergen-free, vegan plant-based, non-GMO project verified, and”
- **Certifier named:** Certified Free From (CFF)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a Allergen-Free claim and a public certification record from Certified Free From (CFF) 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 the product page displays a recognized certification mark. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, facility-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. This claim is scoped to US allergen regulation — this covers the US 9 only; it does not address celery, mustard, lupin, molluscs or sulfites, which the EU and FSANZ separately regulate.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-02-01
- **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:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Certified Free From (CFF) 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: 8 checks.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Always gluten-free, top 9 allergen-free, vegan plant-based, non-GMO project verified, and kosher”
- **Safe citation wording:** The seller states this product is Vegan, and the product page displays that claim; the brand's help article describes its allergen-free facility and ingredient philosophy but does not name this specific product or give its ingredient list. TilliT did not retrieve an independent Vegan certificate for this exact item, and the public Vegan Action and BeVeg sites checked showed no match for the brand. The ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed, and this wording does not mean the product is not Vegan.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26
- **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: 6 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of BeVeg's own certifier database was attempted for this brand, even though BeVeg is a vegan-specific certification body and a direct registry lookup is the most relevant remaining public check for a 'vegan' claim.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 18/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “9 allergen-free, vegan plant-based, non-GMO project verified, and kosher. Reheats in the microwave”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Separately, the product page's text mentions pumpkin — 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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-23
- **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: 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.
