Espola's newest neighborhood

For reasons I don't yet understand, the FDA is proposing a regulation that would require containers of maple syrup and honey to include a line on the nutrition chart appearing on every retail package for "Added Sugar". No sugar is added during the process of making maple syrup from the natural sap of maple trees - water is removed by boiling in an open pan or in some operations partially by reverse osmosis, and some minerals are removed with a paper filter. Honey is usually made by crushing or spinning honeycombs and filtering the resultant mash - nothing added.

The proposed regulation also mentions dried cranberries, which do have some sugar added, because their natural tartness makes them almost inedible unless sweetened to the level of other dried fruits.

FDA definition of "added sugar" --

Added sugars are either added during
the processing of foods, or are packaged
as such, and include sugars (free, monoand
disaccharides), sugars from syrups
and honey, and sugars from
concentrated fruit or vegetable juices
that are in excess of what would be
expected from the same volume of 100
percent fruit or vegetable juice of the
same type, except that fruit or vegetable
juice concentrated from 100 percent
juices sold to consumers, fruit or
vegetable juice concentrates used
towards the total juice percentage label
declaration under § 101.30 or for Brix
standardization under § 102.33(g)(2) of
this chapter, fruit juice concentrates
which are used to formulate the fruit
component of jellies, jams, or preserves
in accordance with the standard of
identities set forth in §§ 150.140 and
150.160 of this chapter, or the fruit
component of fruit spreads shall not be
labeled as added sugars

Looks like maple syrup and honey are 100% "added sugar". Is thaat what they meant?

Have you given up on Golf Ball theft from your " Local " Neighborhood Golf Course.......
 
Speaking of recycling - Snapple has changed from glass bottles to PET, but it is a hefty bottle - a 16-oz container weighs in at 1.8 ounces. In the current CRV market, PET fetches $1.24/lb, or $0.0775/oz, so that Snapple bottle for which I paid a 5-cent deposit will get back 14 cents.
