What it is

Garlic flavored oil is a cooking oil infused with the taste and aroma of garlic. It is typically made by heating garlic cloves in a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, and then straining out the solids. This process transfers the characteristic flavor of garlic to the oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use garlic flavored oil to impart a distinct garlic taste to foods without adding whole garlic pieces. It is commonly found in savory dishes like pasta sauces, stir-fries, marinades, and salad dressings. It is also frequently used in pizza, noodles, and frozen entrees.

Health notes

Garlic flavored oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of flavor compounds, and while garlic itself has been studied for various health effects, the concentrated flavor in oil is typically consumed in small amounts. JECFA has evaluated garlic and its extracts, and EFSA has also assessed garlic as a flavoring. Evidence on specific health benefits or risks from consuming garlic flavored oil at typical dietary levels is limited.

Allergen info

Garlic flavored oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
