Why does Epicure Canadian Maple Syrup receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D is driven primarily by the very high sugar level of 62 g per 100 g, which adds the maximum 15 negative points, and by the lack of positive nutrients such as fiber, protein or fruit/vegetable content; low fat, saturated fat and salt do not offset the sugar penalty.

How does the sugar content of this maple syrup affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 62 g of sugars per 100 g, the syrup can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while its low salt (0.06 g) does not pose a direct risk for hypertension, but the overall high carbohydrate load is still a concern for blood‑pressure management.

Is Epicure Canadian Maple Syrup suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

Maple syrup is derived from the sap of maple trees, so it is plant‑based and naturally gluten‑free, making it compatible with vegan and gluten‑free diets; however, its high carbohydrate content makes it unsuitable for keto diets, and halal status is not specified on the label.
