Health notes

Garlic, in its various forms, has been studied for potential health benefits. Some research suggests it may have properties that support heart health. However, the scientific evidence is mixed, and it is not a proven treatment for any disease. The FDA considers garlic and garlic powder to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as food ingredients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated garlic compounds.

Allergen info

Garlic is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
