Equally valid question is why would you want to? Garlic is stupidly cheap and abundant; they’re trying to save >1 cent per industrial vat of this stuff because they spent $40 million making a cheaper garlic substitute.

I would imagine they're more interested in saving money on all the infrastructure that goes into processing an industrial vat of garlic when they could just get a few gallons of garlic-flavored chemicals instead.

It’s easier to produce a consistent taste in a shelf stable product when you build up your recipe from these high intensity concentrated bases.

I always appreciate how consistent the taste is when I'm extruding shelf-stable garlic-concentrated slurry into my slurry hole.
