HI SB1327

Adds new labeling requirements in Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 486 for cacao, chocolate, cacao butter, and products containing cacao ingredients.

Prohibits use of "Hawaii-grown cacao" or similar language on labels unless the product contains only Hawaii-grown cacao with no other cacao or chocolate flavoring, or specifies the percentage of Hawaii-grown cacao in blended products.

Requires identity statements to meet specific type size standards (at least 1.5 times the net weight statement size), be conspicuously displayed above the net weight statement, and contain no intervening material.

Establishes violations including misrepresenting cacao percentages, using geographic origins for less than 10% cacao by weight, using "All Hawaiian" improperly, and using trademarks with geographic origins without 100% sourcing from that origin.

Requires manufacturers to maintain records for two years on the volume and geographic origin of cacao purchased and sold, with department access for enforcement purposes.
