Could "Natural Flavor" not include garlic? I can't see why not, but IANAL. I'm actually a little hazy on what the limits on declaring ingredients as "Natural Flavour" are - they seem very broad.
The definition of natural flavor under the Code of Federal Regulations is: “the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional” (21CFR101.22).

- tptacek 12y agoYes, that's where the garlic is. http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=501.22 http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrs...
- mrgriscom 12y agoFunnily enough, I believe the distinction between natural and artificial flavoring refers solely to the process by which the flavor compound was derived, even if it's the exact same molecule in the end.
