What it is

Garlic salt is a common seasoning made from a blend of dried, ground garlic and table salt. It is produced by dehydrating garlic, grinding it into a powder, and then mixing it with salt.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add garlic salt primarily to enhance the flavor of food products. It is frequently used in savory dishes, processed meats, deli salads, and various prepared meals to provide a distinct garlic and salty taste.

Health notes

Both garlic and salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary health consideration for garlic salt relates to its sodium content, as high sodium intake can contribute to high blood pressure. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride (salt) as a food ingredient, but it does not set an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for it.
