ה: וכן אסור לערב מעט פרות רעים בהרבה פרות יפים כדי למכרם בחזקת יפים, או  
לערב משקה רע ביפה. ואם היה טעמו נכר, מתר לערב, כי הלוקח ירגיש

Similarly, it is forbidden to mix a few bad fruits with many good fruits in  
to order to sell them under the presumption of [them all being] good, or to  
mix some bad drink with good.

However, if [the few bad fruits' or the bad drink] taste was obvious its  
allowed to mix,  because the buyer will notice.
The first paragraph is the same as the previous law, that one cant doctor  
merchandise to sell it under false pretenses. This last clause is clarified  
in the second paragraph  that its okay to sell a batch or mixture of uneven  
quality as long as the buyer will certainly know that the purchase does  
include inferior product. That isnt false pretenses.

However, as per the law we saw in 62:1, one may not overcharge. The buyer  
knowing the product is of mixed quality, but selling it to him at the  
market price for top quality product, could be onaah. Unless there is so  
little of the low-grade product that the market prices are nearly the same  
anyway. Otherwise, he would have to lower his price to the weighted average  
of the two quality lines sold.
