# 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 those statements do not name this specific product. No independent product-level gluten-free certification or testing for this item was found 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 does not require third-party certification, but the product must still 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:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: Several major gluten-free certifier registries (e.g. Celiac Support Association, National Celiac Association, Coeliac UK, GIG, NSF, SCS) were never checked directly for this brand, leaving a realistic path to a certifier match untried.

### 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 is 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 was retrieved in the sources checked, and the ingredient list was not retrieved, so no ingredient check was completed. "Allergen-free" has no single regulatory definition, so the claim is scoped to the specific allergens listed. The public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found and does not establish that the product is or is not allergen-free.
- **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:** 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 public pages describe some baked goods as vegan and note that dietary filters and ingredient information are available, though these do not name the Penguino Cupcakes. 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, and the public-evidence score reflects how much independent proof was found rather than a conclusion about the product.
- **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.

## 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.
