# Mariposa Baking Co. Hermano de Vegano — 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)

Hermano de Vegano by Mariposa Baking Co. — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: Limited Public Support; 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:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Mariposa Baking Hermano de Vegano Hermano de Vegano Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free Soy-Free Vegan Avocado, cucumber”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a gluten-free claim, and the brand publicly states that it is a dedicated gluten-free baking company whose baked goods are gluten-free, though those brand statements do not name this specific product. No product-level testing or certification for this item was retrieved, and no match for the brand was found on the GFCO certified products page checked. This reflects the public evidence retrieved and is not an independent confirmation of the claim.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-05
- **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:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, egg free, soy free”
- **Safe citation wording:** 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. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This claim can legally be self-declared in the US, with no required independent testing.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02
- **Limitation:** This is a claim about specific allergens (dairy-free, egg-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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** None/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Hermano de Vegano Hermano de Vegano &ndash; Mariposa Baking Co. Skip”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a vegan claim for "Hermano de Vegano," and a Mariposa Baking Co. brand story page states the bakery offers some vegan baked goods, though it does not name this product; a Vegan Action (vegan.org) page check found no match for Mariposa Baking. TilliT read the available ingredient statement and found nothing contradicting the claim, but the product page text mentions sugar outside a structured ingredient list, which may warrant further verification. This is the seller's own statement, not independent confirmation or third-party certification, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02
- **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.
