What it is
Maple syrup is a natural sweetener made from the sap of maple trees. The sap is collected, then boiled to evaporate water, which concentrates the natural sugars into a thick syrup. It is known for its distinct flavor and amber color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add maple syrup primarily as a natural sweetener and for its unique flavor profile. It is commonly found in breakfast foods, baked goods, sauces, and often paired with savory items like sausages, bacon, and other processed meats to add a touch of sweetness.
Health notes
Maple syrup is considered a traditional food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used appropriately. It is a source of sugars, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars in the diet, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. As a natural food, it is not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA for an acceptable daily intake (ADI) as a food additive.
