Leave Quebec alone!
Quebec’s maple syrup industry is grappling with a new California law that requires larger syrup producers to affix...

If the maple syrup was filled with gay cum It would be a hate crime to warn against it in California.
Ryan Harris
Vermont maple syrup is far superior anyway
Zachary Garcia
I doubt it
Angel Scott
You mean the maple syrup coming from what's basically the exact same forest?
Luke Nelson
isn't it because of the machinery?
William Brooks
Quebec adds lead to maple syrup, that explains retards like JF.
Blake Anderson
The wall just got ten feet taller
Jace Powell
Why not like you know, not put lead in your syrup if you think your customer doesn't like that?
Ryder Reed
Canada's becoming more and more like China each day.
Mason Baker
Why does the syrup have lead in it?
Kevin Torres
>eating unleaded syrup
What's the fucking point?
Jaxon Edwards
Anything in California can kill you.
Most things give you too much lead, potentially cancer, or HIV/AIDS
Gavin Torres
Why are you still using lead pipes to extract syrup?
Aaron Martinez
I wish this was just memery.
Adam Evans
It's more likely that they don't want to retool all their machines.
Gavin Jackson
No it's not. Quality is dependent on the sugars in the tree, climate, and production. The only variable here is climate and local weather. If anything Vermont likely just has a shorter season and has to waste more sap at the beginning producing lower quality.
Luis Jackson
It's naturally in syrup, and likely only in the solder apart from that. At 500 parts per billion (Canadian standard) you'd have to drink a kilo (2.2 lbs) a day for it to be a problem

Wha?
Do you even evaporate bro?
Kevin Long
>It's naturally in syrup,
No it is not! You are a poor ambassador.
Lead can leach into the finished product if the producer still uses soldered pans. Those pans would have had to been produced prior to adaption of lead free solder. Most pans produced in the last 30 years are welded, so that is not an issue.
Again, this warning label is just another over reaction by the nanny state of California. The bulk of Canadian Syrup sold in the states is a blend. The bulk of buyers will no longer purchase Syrup from producers that have not proven they no longer use soldered pans. Therefore, the chance of even 1 part per trillion being lead is exreeeeeeeemly unlikely.

Nuked by Korea, invaded by the PLA, Day of the Earthquake, ANYTHING please I just want California to be destroyed

This is what I want to know

Sap does not have lead in it naturally. Neither should properly processed syrup. The problem arises in that sap can leach lead out of the solder used in older pans. Most manufacturers now weld pans. Lead in solder was phased out in the 90;s. Still, some producers are making syrup in legacy lead soldered equipment. Most packers now require you to prove that your equipment is lead free.
The reality is that lead is not present in syrup and this is just an overreaction by the nanny state.
