I have never heard of maple syrup fraud in the US nor can I find any articles on it.

Unless one is talking about imitation maple syrups, but those are labeled properly.

It's also a thing, unfortunately.

That "article" appears to be a promotion for a test to detect maple syrup fraud in Canada.

It doesn't say maple syrup fraud is common in the US. It does cite an article about someone who bought fake syrup from a random "trucker" on the internet, but that article explicitly says it's not a big issue.
