SB135

Hawaii SB135 mandates specific labeling for macadamia nuts grown and processed in Hawaii.

Hawaii SB135 amends labeling requirements for macadamia nuts. It mandates that if a label claims all macadamia nuts in a package were grown and processed in Hawaii, it must use specific phrases like "100% Hawaii-Grown Macadamia Nuts." Conversely, if any nuts were grown or processed outside Hawaii, the label must state, "This product contains macadamia nuts grown or processed outside Hawai'i." The law also requires non-consumer packages with Hawaii-grown nuts to include similar labeling. Violations, such as falsely claiming all nuts are Hawaii-grown when they are not, are prohibited.
