# 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 2 observed badge claim(s): Vegan: 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 public materials describe its sourcing and direct-trade practices, but those materials do not address this product's ingredients or gluten content. No independent gluten-free certification for this exact item was found on the GFCO certified products page checked, and the ingredient list and batch-specific public evidence were not retrieved. Under FDA's gluten-free labeling rule (21 CFR 101.91), this claim is voluntary and requires no third-party certification, though the product must meet the legal definition of under 20 ppm gluten; this reflects a gap in public evidence rather than a conclusion about the label.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-21
- **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:** 12/100
- **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 states the item is vegan, and the brand has publicly described its sourcing philosophy and direct-trade model, but these sources do not address the ingredients, formulation, or vegan status of this product. No independent vegan certificate for this exact item was found in the sources checked, 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:** 2026-11-21
- **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.
