# Burlap & Barrel Wild Mesquite — 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)

Wild Mesquite by Burlap & Barrel — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): 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:** 18/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “to spice up pancakes, oatmeal and hot drinks. Gluten-free, vegan and naturally sweet with no added sugars, mesquite”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page publicly displays a gluten-free claim, and the brand's about-us and FAQ pages describe its sourcing and supply-chain practices without addressing gluten-free status for this item. No independent gluten-free certificate, product-level testing, or batch-specific public evidence was retrieved in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, but the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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:** The manufacturer's own labelling carries a cross-contact / shared-facility disclosure for wheat / gluten grains ("A few of our blends may contain gluten or sesame, and those ingredients are clearly listed on the jar and product page.") — a real caveat worth checking against the gluten-free claim, not proof the claim is false: an ingredient-level "wheat / gluten grains-free" claim and a shared-facility disclosure can both be true. Facility segregation is part of what gluten-free certification checks.
- **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:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “oatmeal and hot drinks. Gluten-free, vegan and naturally sweet with no added sugars, mesquite”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a vegan claim for this item, and the brand's public pages describe its sourcing philosophy but do not mention this product or a vegan certification. No match for the brand was found on the checked Vegan Action page, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. "Vegan" is not defined by US food regulation, and certifier programs define their own criteria; this wording reflects only the public evidence retrieved and does not indicate verification by TilliT.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Jar size Cotton Gift Bag Kosher Kosher 100x Non-GMO Non GMO 100x Non-Irradiated no preservatives, no fillers”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim, and public brand-level statements describe sourcing practices such as no irradiation, no chemical treatment, and no fillers, but these do not reference this specific product or a non-GMO certification. No independent certifier record backing this claim was retrieved in this assessment. Batch-specific public evidence was also not retrieved.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-25
- **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.
