The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 primarily addressed what concerns?

  2. Listing ingredients and safety

  3. No adulteration and mandatory ingredient labeling

  4. Safety and efficacy

The correct answer is: Adulteration and misbranding

The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 primarily addressed concerns related to adulteration and misbranding. This act was one of the first significant pieces of federal legislation to address public health and consumer protection in the United States. Adulteration refers to the practice of adding inferior, harmful, or unnecessary substances to a product, while misbranding involves false or misleading labeling. By focusing on these issues, the Pure Food and Drug Act aimed to ensure that food and drugs were accurately labeled and free from harmful additives, ultimately safeguarding the health and well-being of consumers.
