Hawaii SB500 amends coffee labeling laws to clarify distinctions between Hawaii-grown and foreign-grown coffee.
Hawaii SB500 amends existing laws to clarify coffee labeling and advertising requirements, particularly distinguishing between Hawaii-grown and foreign-grown coffee. The bill specifies that the identity statement on coffee packages must be prominently displayed and meet certain size requirements. It also mandates that blends include a list of geographic origins of the coffees used, with Hawaii-grown coffee clearly identified. The bill aims to support Hawaii's coffee growers by reducing confusion about coffee processed within the state.
