KFC Garlic Sauce (Sos cu usturoi)

KFC Garlic Sauce (Sos cu usturoi) is a popular condiment specifically developed for the Romanian market. While KFC is a global fast-food brand originating from the United States, this particular bottled version of the garlic sauce is a local phenomenon in Romania, licensed for retail sale. It is manufactured domestically by local food producers under strict brand guidelines.

The KFC brand was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders in North Corbin, Kentucky, during the 1930s and has since grown into one of the world's largest restaurant chains. Today, the global brand is owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. In Romania, the commercial operations and specific retail products like this sauce are managed through Sphinx Enterprises (part of Sphera Franchise Group), which holds the franchise rights for the territory and collaborates with local manufacturers to produce the sauce for supermarket distribution.
