‘I thought it was common knowledge.’ Posted on December 10 2024 7:00 am CST If you have a bottle or two of maple syrup in your cabinet or refrigerator, you might want to check the label. Not all bottles marketed as maple syrup actually contain the sought-after derivative of maple tree sap. Featured Video Simply put: many of the most popular brands of maple syrup, also called pancake syrup, are not maple syrup at all. As one savvy Target shopper has shared, many brands of syrup on store shelves are not really all that maple-y. In a video that has drawn over 466,000 views on TikTok, user Jillian Pelliccio (@jillianpelliccio) highlights that she has noticed a difference in the ingredients of a variety of brands of products that most people might refer to as “maple syrup.” “I just learned something in the syrup aisle,” she says in the video. “I always get the bottles that actually say ‘maple syrup.’ Usually not too picky about the brand, because in general, I don’t think syrup is actually good for you, but when my kids have pancakes that I make at home I like to give them the best syrup I can pick.”Pelliccio says she thought she was staying away from highly processed “maple syrups.”“So all along I thought I was avoiding the other maple syrups because they were processed or had additives, but now I’ve learned that they’re actually not syrup at all,” she says, picking up a bottle of syrup. “So you could pick any of these other ones and just look. No maple syrup in these ingredients. And it goes for all these other ones that I looked at. But if you look at the ones that actually say maple syrup, then you’ll notice. Ingredients: maple syrup. Did you know this?”The Daily Dot has reached out to Pelliccio via TikTok comment regarding the video. What is the difference between syrup and maple syrup?When it comes to the two products that frequently share shelf space in grocery stores, only one is made with the sap from a maple tree: maple syrup.
