According to regulatory bodies across Europe and the US, thickener 407 is indeed the designation for the food additive carrageenan. This ingredient, derived from red seaweed, is widely used for its thickening, gelling, and stabilizing properties in a variety of food products. It is often listed on food labels as either 'carrageenan' or its E-number, E407.
