Maple Producers Blast Food Products Containing ‘Fake’ Maple
The word “maple” is often used to sell food products that don’t actually contain any maple, the industry charged. Maple syrup producers from all over the country are asking the Food and Drug Administration for strict enforcement of food product labeling, after growing concern from the maple industry that too many big food manufacturers may be deceptively using the word “maple” on their containers.
Those products, some of which were displayed at a Vermont Maple Sugar Makers’ Association press conference Tuesday, run the gamut from oatmeal to cookies to ice cream. Despite using the word “maple” in their product names, they often do not contain any actual maple syrup in their ingredient lists, the association charged. They usually contain no natural maple sugar, either, the group said, just hard-to-pronounce chemical flavoring and coloring.
