HRS §328-26
What happens to unsafe food or drugs after a court order
If a court finds a food or drug product unsafe, it can be destroyed at the owner's cost. If the problem can be fixed by new labels or processing, the court may let the owner fix it under health officials' supervision, but the owner must pay for that supervision and post a bond.

The statute, as written — Disposal of questioned articles; court orders; expenses; bond
If the court finds that a detained or embargoed article is adulterated or misbranded, the article shall, after entry of the decree be destroyed at the expense of the claimant thereof, under the supervision of the director of health or any of the director's deputies; and all court costs and fees, and storage and other proper expenses, shall be taxed against the claimant of the article or the claimant's agent; provided that when the adulteration or misbranding can be corrected by proper labeling or processing of the article, the court, after entry of the decree and after such costs, fees, and expenses have been paid and a good and sufficient bond, conditioned that the article shall be so labeled or processed, has been executed, may by order direct that the article be delivered to the claimant thereof for such labeling or processing under the supervision of the director or any of the director's agents. The expense of supervision shall be paid by the claimant. The bond shall be returned to the claimant of the article on representation to the court by the director or any of the director's agents that the article is no longer in violation of this part, and that the expenses of supervision have been paid.
