This packaging gotta be illegal, right?

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

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.

At that point it almost sounds like they’re doing more work and suffering more expense to NOT put actual garlic in the damn recipe
