Garlic & Herbs

Garlic and herbs is a seasoning blend that typically includes dried garlic and a variety of dried herbs such as parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. The specific herbs can vary widely depending on the product and intended flavor profile. It is used to add savory flavor to foods.

Manufacturers use garlic and herbs to enhance the taste and aroma of a wide range of foods, particularly savory dishes. It is commonly found in processed meats, cheeses, dips, sauces, marinades, and snack foods. This blend provides a complex, aromatic flavor without the need for fresh ingredients.

Garlic and herbs are generally recognized as safe when used as food ingredients. They are not subject to specific FDA regulations as additives because they are considered common food ingredients. While garlic and certain herbs have been studied for potential health benefits, these are typically associated with consumption in larger amounts than usually found in seasoned foods. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated individual herbs and spices for safety, generally finding them safe for consumption.
