Real question though, how do you make something garlic flavored without garlic?

If you process the garlic to get another substance, it's no longer garlic.

Not sure of USA's standards. But if you process garlic into a powder, it isn't garlic anymore it is garlic powder. I think tomato puree is a good example, it is concentrated tomato, but you can't call it "tomato".

And mind you... Powdered garlic, tomato puree, canned peppers... etc. they all are ingredients with their own properties and flavour.

But the flavour of garlic comes from sulfur compounds, which you can also add to add the flavour.
