Product Information
1. McCormick Garlic Salt is smoother and more mellow than raw garlic with a touch of salt
2. Made from fresh, whole garlic cloves that have been dried and ground
3. Non GMO
4. SnapTight lids seals in flavor for shelf stable, long-lasting spices
5. 3X our 5.25-ounce size so you will always have garlic salt on hand
McCormick Garlic Salt is an instant flavor booster for quick and easy meals. We start with whole heads of fresh garlic, which are dried and ground before blending with a touch of garlic oil and pure salt. The drying process mellows the flavor and adds a subtle sweetness. The result is a savory seasoning for beef, pork, chicken or seafood. Garlic salt and ground beef make weeknight dinners a snap – use for burgers, chili, tacos and meatloaf, or casseroles like shepherd’s pie. Add garlic salt to stir-fries, sauteed veggies, creamy dips, potatoes, pasta, eggs, salad dressings and more. It also makes a great base for dry rubs and brines for meats. Use as an all-purpose salt anywhere you’d use regular salt and want to punch up the flavor.
Ingredients
Salt, Garlic, Calcium Silicate (to Make Free Flowing) and Garlic Oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 15.75 oz bulk size give me enough seasoning to get through a full backyard BBQ season?
Yes. The 15.75 oz jug, available in single or 6-pack, holds three times the 5.25 oz size, giving grilling and BBQ enthusiasts a long-lasting supply for rubs, brines, and finishing salts across many cookouts.
Does the SnapTight lid protect the seasoning from humidity and open-air exposure at my outdoor grill station?
Yes. The SnapTight resealable lid is designed to seal in flavor and protect the contents from moisture, which is especially helpful at an outdoor grill station where humidity and temperature swings are common.
Is the shaker top easy to use with grilling gloves or greasy hands at the grill?
Yes. The shaker top is designed for controlled, one-handed sprinkling, so you can season meats and vegetables on the grill without complicated measuring or extra tools.
Can I build a simple dry rub for beef, pork, chicken, and seafood using this garlic salt as the base?
Yes. The balanced salt-to-garlic ratio makes it a strong foundation for dry rubs, and it can also be mixed into brines for grilled meats and seafood without overpowering other spices.
Will the free-flowing powder formula resist clumping in a smokehouse or covered patio setup?
Yes. The calcium silicate anti-caking agent keeps the powder free-flowing even in environments where temperature and humidity can vary, which is common around smokehouses and patio prep areas.
Is this garlic salt a good all-purpose rub for burgers and steaks on a backyard grill?
Yes. Many grill enthusiasts use it as a one-step seasoning for burgers, steaks, chicken, and pork chops, and the mellow garlic flavor pairs well with both red meat and poultry.
Can I use this for both a dry rub before grilling and a finishing salt after cooking?
Yes. The fine grind and balanced flavor work well as a pre-cook rub on meats, poultry, and seafood, and as a finishing sprinkle on grilled vegetables, potatoes, and even popcorn served on the patio.
Will the 6-pack option keep my outdoor cooking station stocked through a full grilling season?
Yes. The 6-pack is designed for high-volume users like BBQ enthusiasts who cook outdoors frequently, so you can keep multiple jugs at the grill station, in the smokehouse, and in the kitchen without running out mid-season.
How does this compare to a pre-made steakhouse-style garlic butter seasoning for grilling?
Unlike butter-based blends that need refrigeration and can burn on a hot grill, this dry powder formula stores at room temperature and seasons meat cleanly without flare-ups, giving you more control at the grill.
How does this garlic salt compare to Lawry's Garlic Salt for building a dry rub?
Many grillers prefer McCormick's finer grind and balanced salt-to-garlic ratio over Lawry's, which can be coarser and saltier, making McCormick easier to layer into multi-ingredient rubs and brines.
Could I use this in a wet brine for poultry and still get good garlic flavor?
Yes. The dried and ground garlic rehydrates well in wet brines, infusing the brine with mellow garlic flavor that carries through to the finished bird after grilling or smoking.
What if my outdoor grill station is exposed to rain or sea air that could affect the seasoning?
The SnapTight resealable lid is designed to seal out moisture, so as long as you close the lid fully after each use and store the jug in a covered area or cabinet, the powder stays fresh and free-flowing.
What if the jug is too bulky to keep at the grill and I have to walk back to the kitchen every time?
Many outdoor cooks decant some of the powder into a smaller shaker for the grill station and keep the bulk jug in the kitchen or pantry, which combines the convenience of a small shaker with the value of the 15.75 oz size.
What if I am worried the mellow garlic flavor will get lost in heavily smoked meats?
The balanced salt-to-garlic ratio is designed to be noticeable without being harsh, and you can apply it both before and after smoking to keep the garlic flavor present even in a heavily smoked finished dish.
Will this seasoning hold up on vegetables and seafood grilled on an open-flame grill?
Yes. The fine powder adheres well to vegetables and seafood, and the mellow garlic flavor complements delicate proteins like fish and shrimp without overpowering them.
How do I use McCormick Garlic Salt as an everyday all-purpose seasoning?
Sprinkle it directly onto food during cooking or as a finishing touch. It works on ground beef for burgers, tacos, chili, and meatloaf, on roasted or sautéed vegetables and potatoes, on pasta and eggs, and even on popcorn, so a light shake from the shaker top is usually enough to flavor an entire dish.
How much garlic salt should I use to substitute for table salt and garlic powder in a recipe?
Start with the amount of salt the recipe calls for, then taste and adjust. Since the blend already contains real dried and ground garlic along with salt, you can typically skip any additional garlic powder in the recipe and rely on the garlic salt as your primary seasoning.
Can I use this to build a simple dry rub for grilled meats, poultry, or seafood?
Yes. Combine the garlic salt with black pepper, paprika, and a touch of brown sugar for a quick all-purpose dry rub, or mix it with your favorite herbs and spices. It also dissolves well into wet brines for extra garlic flavor before grilling or smoking.
Does this product work with standard spice rack organizers and lazy Susans?
The 15.75 oz jug is larger than a typical spice jar, so it is best stored in a pantry, cabinet, or on a shelf rather than in a small countertop spice rack. You can decant a smaller amount into a reusable shaker if you prefer countertop access, then refill from the bulk jug as needed.
Is the shaker top compatible with my existing McCormick spice lids if I want to swap them?
McCormick uses consistent shaker cap designs across many of its larger containers, so lids from other similarly sized McCormick jugs are often interchangeable, but for a tight seal and full freshness, it is best to use the lid that ships with this specific jug.
What is included when I order McCormick Garlic Salt 15.75 oz?
Each order includes one 15.75 oz plastic jug of McCormick Garlic Salt with a SnapTight resealable lid and a shaker top. The pack-of-6 option includes six identical 15.75 oz jugs. No additional accessories are required, and the jug is ready to use as soon as you remove the freshness seal.
Is garlic salt safe for people with gluten sensitivity or celiac concerns?
McCormick provides gluten-free assurance for this product, and the formula is designed to be safe for gluten-sensitive consumers. If cross-contamination is a serious concern, always review the most current label and contact McCormick directly for the latest manufacturing and sourcing information.
Does this product contain any major allergens besides garlic and salt?
The primary ingredients are real dried and ground garlic, garlic oil, salt, and calcium silicate as an anti-caking agent. It does not contain common allergens like dairy, soy, or nuts in the formula, but you should always read the current label on your specific jug for the most accurate allergen information.
What is the difference between garlic salt, garlic powder, and granulated garlic?
Garlic salt is a blend of dried garlic and salt designed to season and salt a dish in one step. Garlic powder is finely ground dried garlic with no added salt, so you control the sodium separately. Granulated garlic has a coarser texture than garlic powder and also contains no added salt. McCormick Garlic Salt combines the convenience of pre-mixed salt and garlic in one container.
