Is maple syrup a food under US customs law?
I was bringing maple syrup from Canada to US, and I didn't know whether I should declare it as food. (US customs needed me to declare food, but not drinks). At the end it didn't really matter much, but out of curiosity - is maple syrup a food? Any thoughts?

For customs purposes, drinks are food, unless, perhaps, they are alcoholic drinks, in which case they are treated somewhat differently.

The CBP has a page on what the US accepts:
You may bring bakery items and most cheeses into the United States. As
a general rule, condiments, vinegars, oils, packaged spices, honey,
maple syrup, coffee, fish, tea, and baby formula are admissible.
and is classified as general food.

And remember, even though it may be allowed, you still need to declare it.

Yep, definitely need to declare it on the customs form, since you need to declare all the food!
