Sanitation "Liquid Gold" Septic Tank Safe?

Recently purchased a PU that came with a cassette porta-potty.  I bought some Sanitation brand "Liquid Gold" to use in the holding tank from Wal-mart.  I couldn't find anything on the package or on-line that states whether or not this stuff is ok for use in a septic tank.  We have family reunions at a lake house with a septic tank and I don't want to be the one responsible for backing up the toilets if I dump the porta-potty.

Any help would be great!

what does it list as ingredients?  

At the county health dept I work for, we generally recommend that people with RV's who want to dump at the end of a trip into their septic tank,  do some laundry at the same time to help moderate the high strength waste from their holding tanks.  We also recommend using the least toxic holding tank additives possible.

Sorry for the delay in posting, haven't had a chance to open the PU to get it out and read the label....  The bottle lists alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (quatemary ammonium) as the only ingredient.

Hope this means something to you guys and gals, because all it means to me is I should have studied harder in Organic Chemistry.

Thanks again for any help
