HRS §328-116
Penalties for breaking food safety rules and a way to avoid them
This section sets a penalty for anyone who breaks the food safety rules in this part or its regulations. The penalty is a fine, jail time, or both. It also provides a defense: if you got the item from someone who signed a written promise that it was not adulterated or misbranded, you may avoid the penalty.
