To interpret this information you need to know how to read the numbers. These are considered parts per million and anything under 10 parts per million is considered not to have any of those particular preservatives in the product. In other words, 0-10 ppm means there is none (no measurable amount) in the food.
* Naturox™ is an all natural free flowing antioxidant for use in the preservations of oils, fats, fat soluble vitamins, flavors, aromas, carotenoids and other oxygen-sensitive material.
