whereas a high number (low ranking) indicates that the substance is an<br />
additive, for instance preservatives. However, this can only be used as an<br />
indication.<br />
Table 5-6 below shows the 25 most frequently used chemical substances in<br />
the mapped <strong>products</strong>. At the same time the table shows how many <strong>of</strong> the 89<br />
<strong>products</strong> that contain the substances as well as with which average ranking.<br />
The following tables, Table 5-7 <strong>and</strong> Table 5-8, show the 25 most frequently<br />
used chemical substances in the 45 <strong>products</strong> marketed as “non-preserved”<br />
<strong>and</strong> the 25 most frequently used chemical substances in the 44 <strong>products</strong><br />
marketed as “naturally-preserved”. For the total list, see Appendix A (chapter<br />
