it appear better or of greater value than it was.

had been in whole or in part omitted; and, Section 402 (b) (4), artificial color 
and flavor had been added to the article or mixed or packed with it so as to

article consisting of horseradish with nonfat dry milk solids and artificial color 
and flavor; and, Section 403 (k), the product contained artificial flavor and 
color and failed to bear a label stating that fact.
