Which statement best defines misbranding?

Misbranding means labeling that is false or misleading in any material respect or omits required information, so the consumer could be deceived about the product’s identity, strength, safety, or use. This broad idea covers not only outright false statements but also missing or incomplete labeling that a law requires. Among the options, the statement describing false or misleading product information best captures what misbranding is. The other choices point to specific labeling defects—such as missing an expiration date, wrong dosage form, or incorrect color—that are potential examples of misbranding but do not define the concept on their own.
