In plain words
The law requires an ingredient list only on prepackaged food, not on bulk food. A bulk counter only has to show the name, production date, shelf life and who produced it. So "no additives listed" does not mean "none added," only that the law doesn't require listing them. If you care, buy the prepackaged version, where the ingredient list and additive names are printed on it.
