A history of Vermont's maple sugar industry

by Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association

PURE FOOD AND DRUG LAW.

Vermont has a Pure Food and Drug law which strictly prohibits the adulteration and misbranding of food products including maple sugar and syrup. (Public Statutes of Vermont, sections 5466 to 5494 inclusive.)

Purchasers of maple products made in Vermont may rest assured that they are as represented, and made from the sap of the maple tree and nothing else. The maple sugar and syrup produced in Vermont is not only pure but it has a delicacy of flavor and aroma not found in the same product made in other localities. This fine flavor is the result of the soil and climatic conditions to be found in the State.
