Thanks for that.

On the French portion of the Canadian label, it says, "melasse de miel".
"de" is not -- AFAIK -- a comma, so we begin to wonder...

---  begin wondering ---

Did somebody just translate the English label into French literally, without
understanding it?
Is the label wrong in English and even more wrong in French?
Are most ingredient lists fact, or fiction?
Who polices these things?
What is the penalty for inaccuracies?
