Contains 2% Or Less Maple Syrup

Maple syrup is a sweetener made from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar, red, or black maple trees. The sap is collected by tapping the trees and then boiled to evaporate most of the water, concentrating the sugars.

Maple syrup is used as a natural sweetener and flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, breakfast items like pancakes and waffles, and also used in glazes, sauces, and marinades.

Maple syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugars, providing calories and a sweet taste. While it contains some minerals and antioxidants, its health impact at typical consumption levels is mainly related to its sugar content, aligning with general dietary advice to limit added sugars. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated maple syrup and its components.
