White spots maple sugar

[4010]

Does anyone know what these white spots are in my maple sugar. Opened the jar and there was no spots on the very top under the lid but there is spots in the whole jar. The sugar was made in April and stored in the jar at room temperature.

The pictures are a bit fuzzy, but that looks like it could be mold to me. Are you sure there wasn't some moisture in the jars or sugar before you put them away?

Not sure about mold looks more like lighter colored crystals.14799
