What it is

Garlic powder water is a liquid flavoring made by steeping dried garlic powder in water. The process extracts the savory flavor and aroma compounds from the garlic. It is used to impart a garlic taste without the texture of fresh or dried garlic pieces.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use garlic powder water as a flavoring agent to add a garlic taste to foods. It is often found in sauces, marinades, processed meats, and snack foods where a consistent garlic flavor is desired. Its liquid form allows for easy incorporation into recipes.

Health notes

Garlic powder water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated garlic and its derivatives, but specific evaluations for 'garlic powder water' are not commonly cited.

Allergen info

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