If a package label does not list the name/address of the manufacturer or an accurate statement as to the quantity of the contents, how is it categorized?

Adulterated

The appropriate categorization for a package label that does not list the name or address of the manufacturer, or fails to include an accurate statement about the quantity of the contents, is misbranded. A product is considered misbranded if its labeling is misleading or fails to provide necessary information that can mislead consumers.

In this case, the omission of crucial labeling information such as the manufacturer's name and accurate quantity can create confusion and potentially lead to improper use of the product. Misbranding emphasizes the labeling aspect, which is specifically addressed in pharmacy laws to protect consumers by ensuring they receive clear and truthful information regarding the medications they are using.

Adulteration tends to refer to issues related to the purity or quality of the product itself rather than labeling deficiencies. The other options related to being outdated or recalled pertain to certain safety concerns or time-related issues with the product, which also do not apply here. Therefore, misbranding is the correct categorization based on the described labeling inadequacies.
