Pure Wisconsin Maple Syrup: Un-graded And Non Blended

Maple syrup is a natural sweetener made from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar maple, red maple, or black maple trees. The sap is collected, usually in late winter or early spring, and then boiled to evaporate water, concentrating the sugars into the thick syrup we know.

Manufacturers add maple syrup to foods primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It is commonly found in breakfast foods like pancakes and waffles, baked goods, desserts, and sometimes in savory glazes or sauces.

Maple syrup is considered a natural food product and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of sugars, and like all added sugars, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars. JECFA has not evaluated maple syrup as a food additive.
