This section has no lettered subsections; it is one short rule.
Nothing in the Act that this section is part of authorizes possessing, selling, or serving colored oleomargarine or colored margarine in any State or Territory* if doing so would go against ("contravene") the laws of that State or Territory. In other words, this section makes clear that the federal law does not override or replace a state or territory's own rules banning or restricting colored margarine.
