What it is

Garlic and salt is a popular seasoning blend made from dried, ground garlic cloves and sodium chloride (table salt). It combines the pungent, savory flavor of garlic with the basic seasoning properties of salt.

Why it's used

This blend is primarily used as a flavor enhancer in a wide variety of foods. Manufacturers add it to products like canned seafood, frozen dinners, and condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauces to provide a balanced savory taste.

Health notes

Both garlic and salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While garlic is widely consumed and considered beneficial in typical dietary amounts, excessive intake of the salt component can contribute to high sodium levels. High sodium intake is a public health concern, with the FDA Daily Value for sodium set at 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated both garlic and sodium chloride.

Allergen info

Neither garlic nor salt is considered a major food allergen by the FDA.
