FAKE OFF: I absolutely love maple syrup. Its one of my preferred sweeteners in cooking and we use it sparingly on our delicious nourishing pancakes (recipe in comments!) I was in the supermarket today and Ive noticed there was only 1 pure maple syrup and the rest were maple flavoured syrup which is an entirely different thing. Maple syrup should have ONE ingredient - you guessed it - organic maple syrup!! These maple flavoured syrups are actually pretty disgraceful ingredient wise. This is a product that is filled with FAKE things and is a FAKE FOOD. Give me the real deal any day! Okay quick ingredient breakdown of this fake maple flavoured syrup - Colour 150D (caramel) can cause gastro-intestinal disturbances which is another word for tummy ache, diarrhoea, bloating etc. Oh and asthma.. yuk! Perservative 202 & 211 causes headaches, skin issues, stomach upsets & hyperactivity. Do not give this to children and expect them to sit still. Its physically impossible! Vegetable Gum 466 (sodium carboxymethyl-celulose) is considered to be safe in food use but they do acknowledge that it can cause constipation and diarrhoea. Natural Flavours is a term for a cocktail of 2000 man made chemicals that do not have to be legally identified by law but it is often another word for MSG which is addictive and neuro-toxic. If you have this maple flavoured syrup in your cupboard - put it in the bin! And opt for pure organic maple syrup - with 1 ingredient. Its sold in all major supermarkets and almost exactly the same price. If you care about chemicals in your food - PLEASE SHARE!!
