"McDonalds Takes Heat For Violating Vermont's Strict Maple Syrup Laws" - http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/mcd...syrup-laws.htm - " "It is illegal to use the word maple on a product unless the sweetener is 100 percent pure maple. Artificial maple flavoring should be clearly and conspicuously labeled on the principal panel with the term 'artificial flavor'.""
