maple sometimes not vegetarian; was: Question of the Week

[Guest guest]

Sometimes lard is used. Sadly, the quantity used is small enough that it

need not legally be disclosed on the lable--- so you would need to contact

the manufacturer. Seems it is less common now, than before- so this is a

good thing!

 

Here are three sites I found:

 

(scroll down to the word " lard " in the center row).

a pdf from harvard (read second paragraph on page 5)

(scroll down to " Maple Syrup " )

I just noticed more on that first link, under " maple syrup " :

 

Holsum, Spring Tree and Maple Groves do not use animal-derived products to

process their maple syrup.

" To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water

exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be

thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a

wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple

life. " ~John Burroughs
