Sec. 137.170  Instantized flours.

    (a) Instantized flours, instant blending flours, and quick-mixing 
flours, are the foods each of which conforms to the definition and 
standard of identity and is subject to the requirement for label 
statement of ingredients prescribed for the corresponding kind of flour 
by Secs. 137.105, 137.155, 137.160, 137.165, 137.175, 137.180, and 
137.185, except that each such flour has been made by one of the 
optional procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this section, and is 
thereby made readily pourable. Such flours will all pass through a No. 
20 mesh U.S. standard sieve (840-micron opening), and not more than 20 
percent will pass through a 200 mesh U.S standard sieve (74-micron 
opening).
    (b) The optional procedures referred to in paragraph (a) of this 
section are:
    (1) A selective grinding and bolting procedure or other milling 
procedure, whereby controlled techniques are used to obtain a food too 
fine to meet the granulation specification prescribed in Sec. 137.300(a) 
for farina.
    (2) An agglomerating procedure, whereby flour that originally meets 
the granulation specification prescribed in Sec. 137.105(a) has been 
modified by further processing, so that a number of the individual flour 
particles have been combined into agglomerates conforming to the 
granulation specifications set out in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) The name of each product covered by this section is the name 
prescribed by the definition and standard of identity for the 
corresponding kind of flour as referred to in paragraph (a) of this 
section, preceded immediately and conspicuously by the words 
``Instantized'', ``Instant blending'', or ``Quick-mixing''.
