Natural Onion & Garlic Flavor Contains

Natural onion and garlic flavor is derived from real onions and garlic. Manufacturers extract the flavor compounds through processes like distillation or solvent extraction, then concentrate and blend them to create a consistent flavor profile.

This ingredient is used to impart the savory taste of onion and garlic to foods without adding the actual vegetable solids. It is commonly found in snack foods like chips, pretzels, and crackers, as well as in seasonings, sauces, and processed meats.

Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavor compounds, but specific evaluations for complex natural flavor blends are less common. There are no widespread health concerns associated with the typical consumption of natural flavors.
