Making the grades

Various grades of maple syrup line a sill at Woodard’s Sugar House in Surry in April, with the sugar bush right outside the window. Woodard’s collects sap from 900 taps.

The New Hampshire Maple Producers Association says it’s adamantly opposed to a new requirement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that maple and honey producers include “added sugar” labels on their packaging. Meanwhile, maple producers in the Monadnock Region argue the new labels are not only misleading but potentially harmful to their bottom lines.
