Season 3, Episode 6.

In 2014, after concerted efforts from the International Maple Syrup Institute (IMSI) and various maple syrup producer associations, both Canada and the United States revamped their laws to establish a unified grading system for maple syrup. The new system, effective as of December 31, 2014, in Canada and March 2, 2015, in the United States, introduced a standardized approach to categorizing maple syrup into different grades.

In this episode we talk through the old grading system, the new system, and what it means for your Maple Syrup!
