Flour substitutes mandated under wartime rationing
Government ration rules tightly limit flour use with a new requirement that for every pound of wheat flour a substitute must be purchased and used. The policy, described as rigid and enforceable, aims to curb wheat consumption and ensure supply for essential needs. Officials warn strict enforcement and penalties for noncompliance.
Food Administration Rules on Flour and Cereal Substitutes
The Food Administration requires jobbers and wholesalers to match cereal substitutes with flour sold to retailers. Retailers must offer flour only in combos with equal amounts of specified substitutes and all white flour may be paired with half its weight of substitutes. The maximum flour price of 12.50 is revoked, allowing usual profits up to 1 cent per pound, and all parties must prove substitute purchases from other sources. Violations will be penalized.
