Wisconsin lawmakers are introducing a bill that will require restaurants to specify if they are using real or imitation maple syrup.
The Truth in Maple Syrup bill would be similar to the DAIRY PRIDE Act, which combats the use of the word milk for non-dairy products like almond or soy milk. The lawmakers who introduced the law say maple syrup is vital to Wisconsin’s economy, with the state producing nearly 14-million-dollars-worth of syrup in 2023.
