We Sent 8 Popular Maple Syrups to a Lab — Most Are Just Corn Syrup in Disguise

We Sent 8 Popular Maple Syrups to a Lab — Most Are Just Corn Syrup in Disguise Real maple syrup has one ingredient — maple sap reduced by boiling — and the fraud built around it is straightforward enough that it has been running profitably for decades. What gets sold as maple syrup across most of the grocery shelf is high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, and artificial maple flavor in a bottle designed to look like something that came from a tree. The regulatory distinction between maple syrup and pancake syrup exists on the label in fine print that most buyers never read because the bottle shape and the amber color do the convincing before the ingredient list has a chance to. We sent 8 popular maple syrup brands to an independent lab and tested for actual maple content, sugar profile, and adulteration markers. The results confirmed what the ingredient lists were already suggesting for most of them. In this video we show exactly what came back, which brands failed, and the ones still selling genuine maple syrup worth the price. Like and subscribe, we do this every day.
