Log Cabin's All Natural Syrup?

People from Vermont are proud about their delicious 100% maple syrup, there's really nothing like it.

But Log Cabin, famous for their own version of maple syrup have a new product, the All Natural Syrup.
While it's accurate to say there are no artificial ingredients or preservatives in their All Natural Syrup, it's also
accurate to tell you that this Log Cabin product is just a blend of sugar, thickening agents such as xanthan gum, caramel color, and about 4 percent real maple flavor.
Pure Vermont maple syrup on the other hand is exactly that, with only one ingredient: maple sap,
the maple sap is boiled down to syrup thickness.

We found it interesting that the new Log Cabin syrup is in a jug that looks just like the jugs Vermont syrup comes in.
Michelle Weese, a spokesperson for Log Cabin explained that the company believes their new product "complies with all FDA regulations."

That's great Michelle, but we'll stick with the real thing.
