This is why IMO we are digging our own holes from not self policing our own ranks. Maple syrup is a food product, plain and simple, and if we are not using food grade equipment because we're trying to save a bit of money we are a penny wise and a pound foolish. If the public gets wind of more and more practices like was described above you're going to start seeing heavy handed inspections and regulations come raining down on us like a thunderstorm in the sugarbush.
