# Mariposa Baking Co Penguino Cupcakes - SINGLES, unlabeled — 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.

## Claims checked

### Gluten-Free

- **Status:** Automated checks complete — on hold while another check on this product is reviewed (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "gluten-free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a "gluten-free" tag, and the brand publicly describes itself as a dedicated gluten-free bakery whose baked goods are gluten-free, though these brand statements do not name the Penguino Cupcakes - SINGLES product. No independent product-level gluten-free certification or testing for this exact item was retrieved in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so an ingredient check was not completed. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) this claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, so the absence of retrieved public evidence is a gap in what was found rather than a conclusion about the label; for medical use, rely on the current package and your clinician's guidance.
- **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:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, egg free, peanut free, sesame free, soy free, tree nut free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page states the item claims to be free of dairy, egg, peanut, sesame, soy, and tree nut, and the brand publicly describes itself as a dedicated gluten-free bakery; no independent allergen-free certificate for this exact item, ingredient list, or batch-specific public evidence was retrieved in the sources checked. Because "allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition, this claim is scoped to the specific allergens listed on the product page. The public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found and does not establish that the product is allergen-free.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-27
- **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 (dairy-free, egg-free, peanut-free, sesame-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.

### Vegan

- **Status:** Automated checks complete — on hold while another check on this product is reviewed (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "vegan"”
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: The product page displays a "vegan" tag, and the brand's "Our Story" and FAQ pages describe vegan options and dietary filters generally, though neither names the Penguino Cupcakes. No match for Mariposa Baking Co. was found in the fetchable text of the Vegan Action (vegan.org) page, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. "Vegan" is not defined by US food regulation and can be self-declared, with certifier programs defining their own criteria.
- **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.

## 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.
