Are preservatives in infant food safe?

I was in the market buying infant food for my baby. However, there are a number of preservatives that left me worried. Is it safe for babies to have these preservatives?

Safe is a relative term. Why not make your own baby food and not worry. Make up small batches and freeze in ice cube tray
No. Any preservatives for any age is not safe and can have side effects.
Sure, there are preservatives used. You can make your own baby food in a blender and use organic veggies and fruits.
It would be better to cook your foods without preservatives but they would have a very short self life. The FDA is very conservative on additives to baby foods and they are considered safe in small amounts.
