of certain statements in the labeling which created the false and misleading im- 
pression that the article, when used as directed, would provide the nutritional 
values of milk; that it was rich in calcium; that it was a valuable source of 
proteins, vitamins, and minerals; that it contained substantial quantities of 
vitamins A, B, G, E, F, and K; that it was of special value by reason of the soya- 
bean protein present therein; and that it was particularly useful to individ- 
uals who must restrict their carbohydrate intake.
Misbranding, soya cereal, Section 403 (a), because of certain statements in the 
labeling which created the false and misleading impression that the article 
was essentially a soybean product, providing the nutritional value of soybeans; 
and that it was of unusual value as a source of vitamins A, B, G, E, F, and K 
and the vitamins of the B-complex, whereas the article contained substantial 
quantities of ingredients other than soybeans, and it was not of special value 
by reason of the presence of the vitamins named.
