Sec. 5103.
(1) If a food is alleged to be misbranded because the labeling is misleading or if an advertisement is alleged to be false because it is misleading, then the determination of whether the labeling or advertisement is misleading shall take into account, among other things, not only representations made or suggested by statement, word, design, device, sound, or any combination thereof, but also the extent to which the labeling or advertisement fails to reveal facts material in the light of such representations or fails to reveal facts material concerning consequences that may result from the use of that food under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or advertisement thereof or under such conditions of use as are customary or usual.
