sented to purchasers that the product was wholesome and suitable for use as 
a component of foods for man. The product contained per 100 cc. about 1.30 
grams of quaternary ammonium compound, which is a poisonous and dele- 
terious substance, and the labeling failed to reveal the material fact in the 
light of the representations made on the label, that the product contained a 
poisonous and deleterious substance.
