FRUITA VITALS claims to have “no preservatives” yet its ingredients mention ‘stabilizers’. What is the difference between them and is their addition in the product safe and healthy?

There is a difference between preservatives and stabilizers. According to Codex “Preservative” is a food additive, which prolongs the shelf-life of a food by protecting against deterioration, caused by microorganisms. “Stabilizer” is a food additive, which makes it possible to maintain a uniform dispersion of two or more components (that means stabilizer helps in maintaining physical form of food emulsions, colloidal and foam formations).
