As the table below illustrates, the “non-preserved” products can be found
within many types of products. The investigation does not indicate that “nonpreserved
products only can be found within certain product types.

5.3.6 Marketing statement on the product
It turned out during the investigation that the marketing statement of “nonpreserved”
or “naturally-preserved” may not always be found on the product
itself (the packaging or the container). In some cases the marketing statement
is only found on a description on a web shop page. Therefore this was noted
into the database:
� For 34 products the marketing statement of either “non-preserved” or
“naturally-preserved” was printed on either the product container or
product packaging.
� For 11 products the marketing statement was not found on the
product (container nor packaging), but only on a web shop page on
the Internet.
� For the rest (44 products) – which we did not buy – we therefore only
know that the marketing statement can be found on the web shop
page.
5.3.7 Marketing statement
The precise marketing statement used on either the packaging, the container
or on the Internet has been written down. The different statements are listed
below.
