No garlic extractives in this one from Walmart. Only dehydrated garlic and sea salt.
The bottle says that a serving of 1.3 grams (1/4 TSP) delivers 300 mg of Sodium. Salt (NaCl) is 39.337% Sodium by weight.
So lets figure out how much is Salt and how much is Dehydrated Garlic:
1/1.3 x 300 mg Sodium = 230.7692 mg Sodium in every gram (1000 mg).
230.7692/0.39337 = 586.6467 mg Salt in every 1000 mg.
586.6467/1000 x 100 = 58.66467 percent Salt by weight
100% - 58.66467% Salt = 41.33533 percent Dehydrated Garlic by weight.
So every gram of Great Value Organic Garlic Salt contains 0.41335 grams of dehydrated garlic powder.
That's 2.76 times more Garlic than I expected. And way more than most.
You get far more of what you are paying for with this Garlic Salt vs. many others.
But you may have to reformulate your Chicken Seasoning recipes accordingly.

Since I like no more than about 0.25 grams of Garlic Powder in my recipes:
0.25/0.41335 = 0.605 grams of Great Value Organic Garlic Salt.
So the conclusion to be derived is that every 0.6 grams of this product will deliver 0.25 grams of Garlic and 0.35 grams of Salt.
Therefore I must never add more than 0.6 grams.
It's easier to just add 0.25 grams of Garlic Powder...

For comparison, McCormick is about 89% by weight Salt, and 11% by weight Garlic Extractives. So a ballpark conclusion is that Garlic Extract has about 4 times more garlic flavor than does Dehydrated Garlic (by weight). And if this holds true for other of the 11 H&S, then it's easy to see that 20 ounces of real H&S can be replaced by 5 ounces of Extractives.
20 - 5 = 15 ounces saved.
And if a 40 once H&S bag has on the order of 20 ounces of H&S, plus Salt and MSG, etc..., then:
40 - 15 = 25 ounces.
