What it is
Garlic sauce is a savory condiment made primarily from garlic, oil, and often other ingredients like vinegar, herbs, spices, and sometimes dairy or other thickeners. It can range from a simple emulsion of garlic and oil to a more complex sauce with a creamy texture.
Why it's used
Garlic sauce is used to add a strong garlic flavor and aroma to a wide variety of dishes. Manufacturers add it to enhance the taste of foods like pizzas, pasta dishes, sandwiches, dips, and marinades. Its rich flavor makes it a popular addition to both home cooking and commercially prepared foods.
Health notes
Garlic itself is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While garlic has been studied for various health effects, the FDA does not make specific health claims for it as a food ingredient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated garlic and its components. At typical consumption levels found in sauces, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Garlic sauce is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
