Migros writes on Migipedia: "Our guacamole is made purely vegan from avocado and various spices. The dip is slightly spicy and contains no preservatives." What about: Antioxidants: ascorbic acid, thickeners: xanthan gum and E 401 and the sugar?
Hello Migroleum, we would be happy to explain the differences. "Preservatives/preservatives" are substances that extend the shelf life of food by protecting it from the harmful effects of microorganisms, while "antioxidants/antioxidants" protect against oxidation. "Thickeners" increase the viscosity (thickness) of a food. In addition to various other types of sugar, sugar is a sweet-tasting, crystalline foodstuff that is obtained from plants and consists mainly of sucrose. The statement that guacamole does not contain any preservatives is therefore correct. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

"Antioxidants are intended to prevent loss of quality through reaction with atmospheric oxygen or other oxidizing chemicals. Acidity regulators keep the desired pH value of a food constant and in some cases increase the stability and firmness of the food or the effect of preservatives." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Lebensmittelzusatzstoffe#Antioxidantien_und_Säureregulatoren
