# Mariposa Baking 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 — 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:** 16/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "gluten-free"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a "gluten-free" tag, and Mariposa Baking Co. publicly describes itself as a dedicated gluten-free bakery whose baked goods are gluten-free, though those brand-level statements do not name the product Hermano de Vegano. No product-level testing, certification, or GFCO listing for this product was retrieved in the sources checked, so independent confirmation of this specific product's gluten-free status is not publicly available here. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91) the claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, but the product must still meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-28
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No check of the Wayback Machine snapshot of the product page was attempted to corroborate claim stability, and no attempt was made against several major gluten-free certifier registries (e.g. CSA, NCA, GIG, NSF, SCS) beyond GFCO, which is the only path to a stronger certifier match for this brand.

### Allergen-Free

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Claims free of: dairy free, egg free, soy 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 cashew, 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 (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:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “2 in modal 1 / of 2 Mariposa Baking Hermano de Vegano Hermano de Vegano Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free”
- **Safe citation wording:** Claim supported. This kind of Vegan 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 Vegan. 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:** 2026-11-28
- **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.
