I think at that point it's called "corn syrup" or just "syrup". Maple syrup is still made from maple.
At least in the US, most “maple syrup” is literally maple flavored corn syrup or sometimes a blend but is just called Maple Syrup on the front of the bottle. Sometimes it’s called “pancake syrup” for legal reasons
No idea why you've got any downvotes.
This is very true. You have to search for actual maple syrup in the US.
EDIT: Yeah. I know how to find actual maple syrup, folks. There was a time long ago when products actually looked like what you were buying and weren't all imitation crap. There was no such thing as corn-syrup labeled "breakfast syrup" or "maple-flavored syrup" or "Real syrup" in giant bold text and "with maple flavor" in tiny font somewhere distant.
Stop defending deceptive product labeling.
The downvotes are because he's legally incorrect
