Maltex was a health cereal produced in Burlington in the early 1900s. A food scientist came to the company in the 1950s and added maple flavoring to the product, and it was renamed Maypo. Eventually, the company went under after a series of different owners, and production moved to Pennsylvania.
This Place in History is produced in partnership by Local 22 & Local 44 (www.mychamplainvalley.com) and the Vermont Historical Society.
