Gov. Josh Green signs House Bill 2278 which addresses deceptive macadamia nut labeling and marketing to be of local origin.
Come January 2026, all macadamia nut labels must disclose the usage of foreign macadamia nuts grown outside of Hawaii.
- Macadamia nut products that contain muiltiple ingredients (outside of seasoning and flavorings) are exempt from labeling requirements.
- Ex. chocolate macadamia nuts.
