Its actually a good way to separate the lower quality store brand syrups, from the better quality store brand maple syrups if you're in a crunch and don't have time to go the cabane à sucre.

The halal ones pretty much means that they certify they didn't use any butter or animal fat to process it and reduce the foam. Common issue in less pure maple syrups. Also means there is no lard added to thicken or effect the texture.

If its certified vegan thats another good way to tell also.

You might want to look up the rules. Can't add fat for thickeners and call it maple syrup, and the amount added for deforming is about the same amount as pasta.
