Québec Bulk Supply Chain — Grading & Inspection

Independent quality verification aligned with PPAQ and CFIA standards

Independent Grading & Inspection

Québec's bulk maple syrup undergoes independent grading and inspection through the Centre ACER Inspection Division. Grading uses spectrophotometry — measuring light transmission at 560 nm to classify colour class objectively.

• Colour class measured by % light transmittance at 560 nm (spectrophotometry)
• Brix / sugar content verified — minimum 66% soluble solids required
• Authenticity testing (anti-adulteration screening)
• Clarity assessment — suspended matter evaluation
• Taste evaluation — off-flavour screening by trained panel
• Lead screening with strict regulatory thresholds

Quality Evaluation Parameters

Every bulk lot is evaluated across multiple parameters before being approved for sale. Zero grading tolerance applies to containers over 5 litres.

• Colour class / grade (Golden ≥75%, Amber 50–74.9%, Dark 25–49.9%, Very Dark <25%)
• Soluble solids: 66.0–68.9% Brix (refractometer verified)
• Flavour profile: clean maple character, no off-flavours
• Clarity: free of visible suspended matter
• Density and specific gravity measurements
• Inspection results valid ~4 months (syrup may darken in storage)

Strategic Reserve — Supply Continuity

The PPAQ maintains a Strategic Reserve of bulk maple syrup — a buffer stock system that ensures supply continuity regardless of annual harvest variability. As authorized buyers within this system, we access verified, graded inventory year-round.

• Buffer stock maintained across multiple warehousing sites in Québec
• Temperature-controlled storage to preserve grade integrity
• Year-round availability independent of seasonal harvest
• Supply security for multi-year procurement planning
• All reserve inventory graded and inspected before release
