ANSWER:

The ruling is only for raw onions and garlic and when someone can smell it and it is offensive smell that annoys other worshippers.

QUESTION: Many of my foods (as a student living alone I eat lots of prepared food) there is garlic powder & garlic (+ sometimes onion) mentioned in the ingredients, eg in virtually all noodle tomtato sauce or in pizza, or in the ketchup sauces or mayo/barbeque sauce etc. Do all of these fall under the rule of garlic & thus prohibition of congregational prayer, or is it literally only RAW garlic and onions?
