no preservatives

Health label boast

No preservatives describes food or other products made without chemicals added to extend shelf life.

The phrase appears on packaging as a selling point, appealing to consumers who prefer fewer artificial ingredients: The label says no preservatives, but check the sodium content.

Like similar claims, it implies naturalness without guaranteeing nutritional value.
