Onion powder is used to add a savory, pungent onion flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, marinades, sauces, soups, and snack foods like chips and pretzels. It is valued for its convenience and consistent flavor profile.

It is not associated with significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts found in food.
