# Mariposa Baking The Animal — 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)

The Animal by Mariposa Baking — 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 the brand's public FAQ and mission pages state that Mariposa Baking Co. is a dedicated gluten-free bakery whose baked goods are gluten-free, though those brand pages do not name or describe this specific product. No match for Mariposa Baking was found in the fetchable text of the public GFCO certified products page, and no independent public product-level testing or certification was retrieved in the sources checked. FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, but labeled products 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:** 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: peanut free, tree nut 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 egg, soy, beef, 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:** 2026-11-28
- **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:** 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.
