It shall be contrary to this chapter to sell, or offer for sale, for human consumption, any flour, white bread, crackers generally known as milk crackers, leaven crackers (de agua), soda crackers, and kneaded crackers (de manteca), and dry food [pastas] made with enriched flour which do not conform to the requirements as to purity and labeling established by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, approved June 25, 1938, as amended, and by §§ 711—732 of this title, and the regulations under such acts. When indubitable proof exists that there is an imminent shortage of enriched flour and that for this reason the manufacture of bread, crackers generally known as milk crackers, leaven crackers (de agua), soda crackers, and kneaded crackers (de manteca), and dry food [pastas] made of flour can be stopped because of the provisions of this chapter, the Secretary of Health may suspend the provisions of this chapter insofar as they refer to the use of enriched flour, and permit their manufacture with common flour.
