Why It's Dangerous

Onion powder is a concentrated form of onion, containing the same N-propyl disulphide compound that damages red blood cells and causes haemolytic anaemia. It's a common hidden ingredient in stock cubes, gravies, and processed foods.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Weakness and lethargy
  • Pale or yellowish gums
  • Loss of appetite
  • Breathlessness
  • Red or orange-tinged urine

Vet Guidance

Contact your vet. Onion powder is concentrated, and even a small amount in seasoned food can add up if eaten regularly.
