Can pure maple syrup be bad?

Simple Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman

A bottle of maple syrup can be expensive especially if you buy top-shelf grade A syrup and it would be a shame to let any go to waste. If you’re wondering how long syrup lasts and whether it goes bad at all read on. We consulted experts on how to best store syrup and when to throw it out.

The short answer is that technically no syrup will ever expire. That’s because of the high sugar content of pure maple syrup according to the syrup experts at Ben’s Sugar Shack in New Hampshire. It’s the same reason honey never expires; bacteria have a hard time growing in these high-sugar low-moisture environments.
