(A) The director of agriculture shall enforce sections 911.31 to 911.35, inclusive, of the Revised Code, and shall make, amend, or rescind rules, regulations, and orders for the efficient enforcement of such sections.

(B) Whenever the vitamin and mineral requirements of such sections no longer conform with the legally established standards governing the interstate shipment of enriched flour and enriched white bread or enriched rolls, the director, in order to maintain uniformity between intrastate and interstate vitamin and mineral requirements for the foods within such sections, shall modify or revise such requirements to conform with amended standards governing interstate shipments. The director shall report any revisions in vitamin and mineral requirements to the legislature.

(C) If the director finds there is an existing or imminent shortage of any ingredient required by sections 911.31 to 911.35, inclusive, of the Revised Code, and that because of such shortage the sale and distribution of flour, white bread, or rolls may be impeded by the enforcement of such sections, he shall issue an order, to be effective immediately, permitting the omission of such ingredient from flour, white bread, or rolls; if it is necessary or appropriate, he may except such foods from labeling requirements until the further order of the director. Any such findings may be made without a hearing, on the basis of an order or of factual information supplied by the appropriate federal agency or officer. In the absence of any such order of the appropriate federal agency or factual information supplied by it, the director on his own motion may, and upon receiving the sworn statements of ten or more persons subject to such sections that such persons believe such a shortage exists or is imminent, the director shall, within twenty days, hold a public hearing with respect to such shortage at which hearing any interested person may present evidence. The director shall make findings based upon the evidence presented. The director shall publish notice of any such hearing at least ten days prior to the hearing.

If the director believes that such shortage no longer exists, he shall hold a public hearing, after at least ten days’ notice has been given, at which any interested person may present evidence, and the director shall make findings based upon the evidence so presented. If he finds that such shortage no longer exists, he shall issue an order to become effective not less than thirty days after publication of such order, revoking the previous order. Undisposed floor stocks of flour on hand at the effective date of such revocation order, or flour manufactured prior to such effective date, for sale in this state, may be sold or disposed of after such effective date.

(D) All orders, rules, and regulations adopted by the director under sections 911.31 to 911.35, inclusive, of the Revised Code, shall be published in the manner prescribed in division (E) of this section, and, within the limits specified by such sections, shall become effective upon the date fixed by the director.

(E) Whenever publication of any notice, order, rule, or regulation is required by such sections, such publication shall be made at least three times in at least one daily newspaper of general circulation printed and published in this state.

(F) The director, or such officers or employees under his supervision as he designates, may take samples for analysis and conduct examinations and investigations, and enter, at reasonable times, any factory, mill, bakery, warehouse, shop, or establishment where flour, white bread, or rolls are manufactured, processed, packed, sold, or held, or any vehicle being used for the transportation of such products, and inspect any such place or vehicle, any flour, white bread, or rolls in such place or vehicle, and all pertinent equipment, materials, containers, and labeling.
