Good Day ,

Thank you for contacting Shady Maple Farm as well for you interest in our Maple Syrup.

Regarding your inquiry to the use of peanut oil? We only use a certified organic vegetable oil to control foaming during the evaporation process. We use Safflower Oil as a defoamer during evaporation process of our Certified Organic Pure Maple Syrup.

Hoping the above is beneficial to you and should you require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a terrific day!

Kindest Regards,
XXXYYY

I tend to react slightly to some maple syrups . . . I suspect soy oil. But shady maple so far has been fine! Not to mention that it is the best maple syrup I've tasted.

Anyone know of any other company which uses safflower or canola as defoamers?

I think so. Maple syrup is great because of its number of uses and health benefits. It's just sad to admit that it's very expensive specially the pure, real maple syrup. The cost of this syrup can go as high as $100 per gallon. This fact actually lead a man to be charged with fraud after attempting to industry flavored cane syrup as "real" maple syrup. The Food and drug administration and state DOA in Vermont both tested samples of an item promoted as "real" maple syrup. The item, however, turned out to be sugar syrup. The incident pushed some to be very careful in purchasing the product and in fact, it is now being worked in the senate as initiated by Senator Leahy trying to strengthen maple syrup law. This law, if approved, would be of great help for the consumers to get rid of fake maple syrup in the market because it would strengthen protections for the brand of Vermont maple syrup.
