HRS §321-4.7
Exemption for hand-pounded poi producers from food permits
A person who makes poi by hand and sells it directly to consumers does not need a food-processing permit or certified facility, as long as they prepare it near hand-washing facilities and follow health rules. The health department must make these rules by a set deadline.
The statute, as written — Producers of hand-pounded poi; exemption
