Can I take maple syrup on a plane?
Yes — but maple syrup is an obvious liquid. Cabin bottles must be 100ml / 3.4oz or smaller. Full bottles go in checked baggage.
Does maple syrup count as a liquid for airport security?
Maple syrup is a textbook liquid for TSA, CATSA, UK and EU security. Even souvenir bottles bought before security still need to fit the 100ml cabin rule unless sealed in a duty-free STEB bag.

Each container 100ml / 3.4oz or smaller, all fitting inside one clear 1-quart / 1-litre bag. The classic 250ml maple-leaf bottle is too big for cabin.
Full bottles in checked baggage. Wrap in plastic bags — pressure changes can pop seals.
