A drug is considered misbranded when the labeling is false or misleading. This means that any information provided on the labeling cannot lead consumers to confusion or misunderstanding about the product’s identity, strength, composition, or intended use. Misbranding can occur when labels make unsubstantiated claims or fail to include necessary information required by regulatory standards, which may result in consumer harm or misinterpretation of the product's efficacy.

While the involvement of a third party in labeling might raise questions about authenticity or accuracy, the crucial aspect of misbranding revolves around the accuracy and truthfulness of the information conveyed to the consumer. Evaluating the content of labeling for truthfulness is essential, regardless of who created it. Other options, such as the expense of the drug or the absence of a barcode, do not directly relate to the concept of misbranding as defined in regulatory standards.
