Bill > AB205

This bill establishes new regulations for maple syrup served in public eating places in Wisconsin, requiring that any product labeled or identified as maple syrup must be made entirely of pure maple syrup as defined by federal regulations (specifically 21 CFR 168.140). The bill defines a "public eating place" as any premise that prepares and sells food for public consumption. While the law prohibits serving a product labeled as maple syrup unless it is 100% maple syrup, it does not prevent establishments from serving other syrup products, as long as those products are not marketed or represented as maple syrup. This legislation aims to protect consumers from potentially misleading food labeling by ensuring that when customers order maple syrup, they receive a pure, authentic product made solely from maple sap that has been boiled down to create syrup.
