Food questions: Maple Syrup
I've been researching Organic Pure Maple Syrup, how its made, in order to come up with the things that I want to be concerned with in the production of Maple Syrup before I buy.
Based upon what I read here are the questions I've come up with (Can you describe their collection process from start to finish, and that I would like to know details about what the food is in contact with)
- Do you use pesticides, fertilizier or any other intervention?
- Do you tube or tap your maple trees?
- If you tube, do you use BPA free tubes?
- What process do you use for converting from sap to syrup? Do you use reverse osmosis?
- Do you use a filtration process, and if so what type do you use?
- If you do filter, how do you clean your filters?
- How do you store your reverse osmosis filters and how to you clean them?
- What metals/materials are in contact with the sap/syrup in the sugar house?
- Are there any additives in the syrup?
- How do you keep the foam under control (bacon fat, butter, organic safflower oil, other)?
