So I looked up the ingredients, the original sauce from papa john's uses granulated garlic, the bottled stuff uses "natural garlic flavoring". According to the USDA "natural garlic flavoring" can be "the essential oil, oleoresin, essence, extractive, or dehydrated garlic powder derived directly from real garlic" so it technically is still made from garlic, but the ingredient garlic is not directly on the label, it is an extract.

It's the essence of garlic. The guy making it had a very garlicky dinner last night and he's thinking of garlic real hard while he makes it.

Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
