What it is

Garlic flavor is a food additive designed to mimic the taste and aroma of garlic. It can be derived from natural sources like garlic itself, or created synthetically.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use garlic flavor to add a savory, pungent garlic taste to foods without using fresh garlic. It is commonly found in processed foods such as sauces, soups, snacks, and prepared meals.

Health notes

Garlic flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for 'garlic flavor' as a general term are not always detailed. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at these levels.

Allergen info

Garlic flavor is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
