Why do some ingredients on product labels explain their function (e.g., “to prevent caking”) while others do not?

This is a legal question, not a chemistry question. I believe that food companies will but a label on an ingredient like “anti-caking agent” or “preserves flavor” as a way to calm down those who find unfamiliar scientific sounding words to be scary, and assume this means they are somehow bad for you.
