What it is

Natural garlic flavoring is a concentrated liquid or powder made from real garlic. It captures the pungent, savory taste of garlic without using the whole vegetable. Manufacturers extract and process garlic to isolate its flavor compounds.

Why it's used

This ingredient is used to add or enhance the taste of garlic in foods. It provides a consistent garlic flavor that is more stable than fresh garlic. It is often found in savory products like pickles, olives, relishes, dips, sauces, and snacks.

Health notes

Natural garlic flavoring is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is considered a flavoring agent and is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavorings, but specific evaluations for 'natural garlic flavoring' as a distinct compound are not always publicly detailed. Evidence on the health benefits of garlic itself is extensive, but these are generally attributed to whole garlic consumption rather than isolated flavorings.

Allergen info

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