Look for "Pure Maple Syrup" written on the label for genuine, 100 percent pure maple product.

The grades and color class of the syrup will also be on the label as shown below:

• Canada No. 1
  (Extra Light, Light, Medium)
• Canada No. 2
  (Amber)
• Canada No. 3
  (Dark)

Many people prefer the dark syrup for baking because of the stronger maple flavour.
