If that's the actual ingredients list, and they ARE using extracts... then, yup, it's an illegal label... Hmmmm perhaps they have foregone the chemicals and are just using real chillies.
Now you've gone and got my mouth watering.

Their webpage shows real chiles as ingredients in the tuna version, not
capsaicin extract:
> INGREDIENTS: LIGHT TUNA, MARINADE (WATER, SUGAR, SUNFLOWER OIL, TOMATO
> PASTE, WHEAT FLOUR, GARLIC FLAVOR, ONION FLAVOR, CHILI POWDER, PAPRIKA),
> ONION, CHILI.
So, if they really are using extracts, probably some labelling law is being
broken.
