Ha! Great to know there is a word for this phenomenon.
I encountered this first hand on the Wikipedia page “Substances Poisonous to Dogs” [1] subsection about Onions & Garlic. The only citation eventually self-references the same Wikipedia page from whence you started.
I was already skeptical that the single most common vegetable and ingredient in human food was somehow poisonous to dogs, but now convinced it’s entirely made-up.

American kennel club claims garlic is poisonous to dogs, if they eat several cloves per kg body weight... That's a lot of garlic.
Willing to bet a human being would get sick of they ate 200-400 cloves of garlic as well
