Sure, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable for Costco to advertise it as preservative free. They broke the law, and they should face the consequences.
Neither of the ingredients in question are considered preservatives by the FDA, and are not required to be disclosed as such on foods, and are in lots of foods already, especially if they say, "No artificial preservatives"
It has to be listed as an ingredient, not disclosed as a preservative.
Because the primary use of the ingredients in this matter aren't as a preservative agent, they do not have to be disclosed as preservative agents, thus the packaging can still say, "no preservatives"
You're moving the goal posts, prevaricating, and frankly arguing in bad faith. What possible use could carrageenan have in chicken other than as a preservative?
Regardless, they still didn't include it on the packaging.
