The real question is

did the syrup from Wal mart come from China?
If it did, I would pass on that syrup.

If the Costco syrup came from Canada or the US, that I the better buy.
 
I'd offer to mail you a quart of dark amber, but it would come out a bit ahead of Costco's price after including shipping. I can guarantee its source though.

I believe he's talking about US maple syrup from maple trees. I haven't seen this imported yet.
 
Yeah, you'd be smart to look a little further than just cost.

As said, other unnecessary ingredients and the source.
 
I'm just curious: how many people here have not had real maple syrup? I grew up in the Northeast surrounded by sugar maples, and even now many of my neighbors tap trees to make their own. I get mine (and produce/eggs) from a nice Mennonite family who lives nearby.

I had no idea that China had a Maple Syrup industry. I wonder how much ethyl glycol is in it?
 
In New England we sneer at Canadian Maple Syrup, what you get in "mystery bulk", and, possibly, from Walmart.

A few years back BJs wholesale had a quite decent deal on syrup, $9/quart or close. I also bought some through Amazon from a New York farmer one year.

The IHOPs here have real syrup, though you have to request and pay extra for it. Comes in a 50ml bottle not unlike a booze shooter.
