Canned jalapeno & carrot slice question

[Robotech_Master]

I found recently, upon opening a can of whole jalapenos, that there
were raw carrot slices mixed in with the jalapenos, too. Can anyone
shed light on why this practice might be followed?

What brand?
Are they listed as an ingrediant?

It's just a fairly common thing to toss in some carrot and onion when
pickling peppers. SFAIK there's no particular reason except that they
go well together.
