What it is

Maple syrup is a natural sweetener made from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar maples. The sap is collected and then boiled to evaporate water, concentrating its natural sugars into a thick syrup. Organic maple syrup is produced following specific organic farming and processing standards.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use maple syrup primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It is often found in breakfast foods like cereals and yogurts, as well as in baked goods, desserts, and sauces.

Health notes

Maple syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food ingredient. As a source of natural sugars, it contributes to the overall sugar content of a food product. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, and maple syrup, as a whole food ingredient, is not usually subject to the same type of evaluation.

Allergen info

Maple syrup is not a major allergen and is not derived from any of the nine major FDA food allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
