#restaurant placard

The Hawai‘i Department of Health’s Food Safety Branch issued a green placard to a Lahaina restaurant, and approved its reopening after a follow-up inspection found that all critical food safety violations were corrected.

The state Department of Health has issued a red “closed” placard to a bakery on the north shore of Oʻahu. The permit for Paalaa Kai Bakery in Waialua was temporarily suspended until food safety violations are corrected.

Restaurants and food trucks get a yellow placard when a business has two or more critical violations, or when they have a critical violation that is not corrected; and a red placard indicates that a food establishment poses a danger to health and requires closure.
