Doesn’t the current law specify immitation products be labeled as such?

Maple FLAVORED syrup or something like that.

People can’t figure it out by that?

BTW, real maple syrup is heads and shoulders better than immitation. Problem is it costs so much more.

In spite of the poorly written headline that is the issue. The law is not about selling fake ‘maple syrup’ but in misrepresenting such fake stuff as real. As with fake rolexes, fake champagne, fake dog food, fake gypsum wallboard, fake designer or team licensed clothing and other items this is an issue for the Federal Trade Commission.

The real target are the blends where you mix maple syrup with corn syrup.

For the most part that gives you all the flavor you need.
