Cornflour Garlic Puree

Cornflour garlic puree is a smooth paste made from cooked garlic that has been processed with cornflour. The cornflour acts as a stabiliser and thickener. It is used to provide a consistent garlic flavour and texture in food products.

Manufacturers add cornflour garlic puree to provide a convenient and stable source of garlic flavour and aroma. It is commonly found in salad dressings, prepared meals, sauces, and marinades where a consistent garlic taste is desired without the texture of whole or chopped garlic.

Garlic is a common food ingredient and not typically considered a food additive under UK law. It is widely consumed as part of a normal diet. Some research suggests potential cardiovascular benefits associated with garlic consumption, though evidence is mixed and more high-quality studies are needed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated various health claims related to garlic, but these are specific to certain preparations and health outcomes, not general consumption. There are no widespread controversies regarding its safety as a food ingredient at typical intake levels.
