Assembly Bill 205 establishes new regulations regarding the serving of maple syrup in public eating places in Wisconsin. Specifically, the bill mandates that any food establishment may only serve a product labeled as maple syrup if it is made entirely of maple syrup, as defined by federal regulations. This ensures that consumers receive a product that meets the highest standards of authenticity and quality.
The bill also clarifies definitions related to maple syrup and public eating places. It defines "maple syrup" according to federal guidelines and specifies that a "public eating place" refers to any establishment that prepares and sells food for public consumption. Importantly, the bill allows for the serving of products that are not labeled as maple syrup, thereby providing flexibility for establishments to offer alternative syrup options without violating the new regulations.
