The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is advising that effective December 13, 2016, the amendments to the Maple Products Regulations are now in force following a two year phase-in period.
The amendments include different grades and colour classes for maple syrup and a harmonized definition and grading system between the United States and Canada. They also require mandatory production codes or lot numbers on labels of maple syrup.
