How MAPLE Score™ works

One percentage shows Canadian ingredient origin by weight. Processing location and brand ownership are displayed separately.

The percentage measures ingredient origin.

A 68% MAPLE Score™ means that 68% of the product’s ingredients, measured by ingoing weight, are Canadian.

Processing location and brand ownership are shown separately. They do not change the percentage.

  • 1. Measure the ingredients

    Each ingredient is assessed by origin and ingoing weight.

  • 2. Calculate one percentage

    Canadian ingredient weights are combined into one product-specific MAPLE Score™.

  • 3. Show the other facts

    Processing location and brand ownership are disclosed separately.

An origin measure. Nothing more.

MAPLE Score™ does not rate nutrition, taste, safety or overall product quality. It measures Canadian ingredient origin.
