Hawaii HB48 amends coffee labeling laws to clarify distinctions between geographic and regional origins of coffee.
Hawaii HB48 amends existing laws on coffee labeling to clarify distinctions between "geographic origin" and "regional origin" of coffee. It mandates that labels on coffee products specify the percentage of Hawaii-grown and processed coffee in blends, along with the geographic origin of the weight-specified coffee. The bill also requires that the percentage of foreign-grown coffee in a blend be listed separately. The identity statement for coffee products must be prominently displayed above the net weight statement.
