What it is

Maple chips are small pieces of solid maple, typically made from maple syrup or maple sugar. They are derived from the sap of maple trees, which is boiled down to concentrate its sugars and flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add maple chips to foods primarily for their distinctive sweet maple flavor and to add texture. They are often found in baked goods like bread, waffles, and biscuits, as well as in breakfast sandwiches and other sweet or savory items.

Health notes

Maple chips are considered a food ingredient, not a food additive requiring specific FDA approval. As a source of sugar, consuming large amounts contributes to added sugars in the diet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend consuming no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like maple chips.

Allergen info

Maple chips are not considered a major allergen and are not derived from any of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
