Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 161-23

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
(b) All carcasses, parts of carcasses, poultry or poultry products inspected at any establishment under this chapter and found to be not adulterated, shall at the time they leave the establishment bear, in distinctly legible form, directly thereon or on their containers, as the board may require, the information required under the definition of the word “misbranded” in § 161-3.
(c) The board, whenever it determines such action is necessary for the protection of the public, may prescribe by rules:

(1) the styles and sizes of type to be used with respect to material required to be incorporated in labeling to avoid false or misleading labeling of any poultry or poultry products subject to this chapter;
(2) definitions and standards of identity or composition for poultry or poultry products subject to this chapter and standards of fill of container for such poultry or poultry products not inconsistent with any standards established under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or under the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and there shall be consultation between the board and the United States Secretary of Agriculture prior to the issuance of the standards to avoid inconsistency between those standards and the federal standards.
(d) No poultry or poultry product subject to this chapter shall be sold or offered for sale by any person in intrastate commerce, under any name or other marking or labeling which is false or misleading, or in any container of a misleading form or size, but established trade names and other marking and labeling and containers which are not false or misleading and which are approved by the board, are permitted.
(e) If the board has reason to believe that any marking or labeling or the size or form of any container in use or proposed for use with respect to any poultry or poultry product or other products subject to this chapter is false or misleading in any particular, it may direct that use be withheld unless the marking, labeling, or container is modified in such manner as it may prescribe so that it will not be false or misleading. If the person using or proposing to use the marking, labeling, or container does not accept the determination of the board, such person may request a hearing before the board but the use of the marking, labeling, or container shall, if the board so directs, be withheld pending hearing and final determination by the board. Any such determination by the board shall be conclusive unless, within thirty days after receipt of notice of a final determination, the person adversely affected appeals to the circuit court. The appeal shall be based on the record upon which the determination was based.
