HI SB890

Products labeled, marketed, or sold as "poi" that contain kalo (taro) grown outside Hawaii must display a label stating "This product contains kalo grown outside Hawaii" and identify the specific origin of the kalo

"Kalo" is defined as taro (Colocasia esculenta) and related plants from four genera in the Araceae family: Colocasia, Xanthosoma, Alocasia, and Cyrtosperma

Federal law takes precedence if any conflict arises with this labeling requirement, and conflicting provisions would become invalid

Adds a new section to Chapter 486, Part V of the Hawaii Revised Statutes regarding weights, measures, and labeling

Effective date: July 1, 3000
