Actual maple syrup is not corn syrup

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Go check the labels on the stuff being sold as maple syrup

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I just checked the bottle in my fridge and the only ingredient is "Pure maple syrup".

The problem is that a lot of people will just snatch up a $3 bottle of Aunt Jemima—or whatever the hell they call it now—and call it a day. But if you're not a cheapass, chances are that the maple syrup in your fridge is real (if you paid $10 or more for that bottle then it's definitely real).

Like the other person said, it's illegal in the US to label corn syrup as maple syrup. So they'll usually call it "pancake syrup" or some sus bullshit like that. Pretty easy to spot the difference unless you're just not paying attention.

It can't be labeled Maple Syrup in the US unless it's genuine. They get around this with terms like breakfast syrup and pancake syrup

I think the distinction is maple syrup vs maple flavour syrup. Maybe some places are allowed to sell one as the other, but I've never seen it in the UK.

Even cheap Aldi maple syrup is still actual maple syrup.
