Bill Summary

Under this bill, a public eating place may not serve a food product identified as maple syrup unless the product is made entirely of maple syrup, as the term is defined in federal regulations.

AI Summary

This bill establishes new regulations for maple syrup served in public eating places in Wisconsin. Specifically, it requires that any product labeled as "maple syrup" must be made entirely of maple syrup, as defined by federal regulations (specifically 21 CFR 168.140). A "public eating place" is defined as any premise that prepares and sells food for public consumption. The bill prohibits restaurants and other food service establishments from serving a product labeled as maple syrup unless it is 100% pure maple syrup. However, the bill does allow establishments to serve other syrup products, as long as those products are not marketed or labeled as maple syrup. This legislation aims to protect consumers from potentially misleading food labeling practices and ensure transparency about the composition of maple syrup served in public eating establishments.
