• Feel ripped off!

  This isn't "Original Maple Syrup" at all. It's mainly carob syrup and doesn't have an authentic maple taste. The most misleading packaging I've ever seen. I'm sure the trading standards chaps will enjoy it!

• Filing complaint to ASA and Sainsbury's

  I made American pancakes for a special occasion breakfast and bought what I thought was maple syrup to go with them. I am disgusted to find that I bought carob juice extract instead. I will be complaining to the ASA, trading standards and Sainsbury's where I bought this product.

• Clarks maple syrup

  A great tasting low gi product at a fraction of the price of 100% pure maple. Well done Mr Clark keep the healthy cheaper alternatives coming without reverting to the disgusting invert sugar imitations currently available like Tate & lyles or silver spoon which are completely fake and have'nt even been within 100 miles of any "real" maple syrup! 40% msple and a natural carob syrup is a million miles improved upon refined sugar syrup and flavouring such as lyles, silverspoon etc. Once again thank you Mr Clark for the natural, healthy, cheaper maple syrup for those who can't afford the expensive pure original. More importantly, thank you to the retailers who recognise that people without the money for pure maple still appreciate a healthy natural alternative that actually contains some real maple!

• Clarks Maple Syrup

  I must totally disagree with the posts, I have been using Clarks Maple Syrup for some time now, it may be blended with Fruit Carob, but is a cheaper alternative to Pure Maple Syrup, it is great for cooking with and for the kids to use on their pancakes and ice cream and at £1.88 a bottle compared to pure at nearly £4.00 a bottle, surely that most of told you something when you bought it.

• Misleading label

  As marketed, "Clark's Original Maple Syrup" is a blatant example of misleading packaging. It is less than half maple syrup, the rest is carob fruit extract, but this is only revealed by reading the VERY small print on an already small, and expensive, bottle. I shall not be buying it again, and am considering a complaint to the ASA and or Which. Not good enough, Clarks!

• CLARK'S MAPLE SYRUP - misleading packaging

  It's common today to package foods in a way which makes them appear to be something they are not. Clark's "Original Maple Syrup" (available in ASDA stores) suggests you're buying, well, maple syrup. But when you read the small print on the back of the container you discover that it's only 40% maple syrup - the main ingredient (a whopping 60% no less) being "carob fruit extract". It's not labelled "Carob Fruit and Maple Syrup", or "Carob Fruit Extract". The label has a little maple leaf and only uses the words "Original Maple Syrup", so naturally you think you're getting what it says, particularly at almost £2 for a tiny bottle. When will manufacturers begin to grow a conscience and start labelling their products honestly? Do people really have the time to check every ingredient on each item they buy?How about it Mr Clark - why not just be straight about it?
