No. Mold is typically very hard to kill, so I would recommend just not eating it. The mold germs could be in your maple syrup as well as on top. BTW... why does it even have mold on it?
It actually does not grow on natural maple syrup. Real maple syrup can get a green film on it but this is not mold or anything else harmful. Just mix it in or scoop it off and enjoy the syrup.
Expired maple syrup can hurt you if there is mold growing on the bottom of it. But if you scrape off the mold then the chances of you getting sick are very slim. If it were me I wouldn't take a chance. I say this because one of my friends got appendicitis after eating old maple syrup. He got this because the crystal sugar in it gets stuck in your appendix and can cause major pain. So before you eat old maple syrup, please be safe and don't Kill yourself.
I think that it will turn into sugar crystals. Mold can grow on maple syrup.
I have always eaten moldy maple syrup after carfully skimming off the mold. It has never made me sick. I have always been told that the mold on very sweet foods in not an unhealthy mold, but I still skim it off and only use the clear part of the maple syrup. You do not state exactly what the syrup you are asking about is made from. This may change matters. I am only speaking about pure maple syrup and pure agave syrup. Answer 2: you should be leery of eating any food that has grown mold. please do not eat any food that you are unsure of, based on what you have read on a site that does not check and approve its responders!
Mold on maple syrup is a very common and easily fixed problem. Syrup will mold no matter how you store it - freezing and refrigerating will postpone it but you might find mold anyway. First, skim as much mold off the top of the syrup as you can. then, pour the syrup into a saucepan and slowly bring to *just* a boil. turn it off and let it cool without disturbing it for a few minutes, then skim the surface again. you can repeat this if there is a lot of mold floating around, or if the surface mold got mixed into the syrup. Just remember to let it cool and then heat slowly WITHOUT STIRRING. and dont let it boil, that will thicken it up and make it prone to crystallizing (you'll get maple sugar instead of maple syrup) Sterilize the container the syrup was originally in and pour the cooled syrup back in.

if it has mold on it you cant eatif it has mold on it you can eat
Yes because the mold could inflict the editible part and you could eat the mold.
Mould eats potentially harmful microorganism, though, as it is itself harmful, eating it isn't recommended. FYI- Penicillin is a form of bread mold.
From a food safety standpoint, not much happens to syrup except some mold growth. If there is no mold and it smells like maple syrup, it is probably just fine to use. The age on it might mean that the flavor has deteriorated some and/or it may have darkened. The syrup's quality will depend on conditions where it was stored and the type of bottle used. For future purchases, see Related Links. The article explains that glass is the best long term storage container. Metal can rust and plastic breaths. It suggests that maple syrup be refrigerated, even if unopened and that larger containers be repackaged into smaller containers and frozen.
It may die from eating mold.
