"§328‑ Fresh baked goods; advertising. Baked goods shall not be represented, advertised, labeled, or marketed using the term "fresh" or "now fresh bread" unless the baked goods have never been frozen prior to retail sale to the consumer."
SECTION 2. Section 328-61, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§328-61 Notifying consumer. (a)
No person shall sell or offer to sell any uncooked thawed food which
substantially resembles the physical appearances of the fresh food without a
label, as hereinafter described, notifying the purchaser that [such] the
food had been frozen and then thawed out; provided that this section shall not
apply if the thawed foods are processed by grinding or have been dehydrated
before being offered for retail sale.
(b) No grocer or wholesale club shall sell or offer to sell any baked bread that has been frozen after previously being baked in an oven or other heating device and is being offered for sale in a thawed state, unless the grocer or wholesale club posts a sign that:

(2) Is displayed within the establishment at the primary location where the baked bread products are sold; and
(3) Displays the words "previously frozen" in wording no less than twenty-four point font and the names of the previously frozen products in wording no less than fourteen point font.
All suppliers of such products for resale in the State shall provide to the grocers or wholesale clubs to whom they supply the products a listing that identifies by name all previously frozen baked bread provided by the supplier; provided that a grocer or wholesaler club shall be deemed to be in compliance with this subsection if the grocer or wholesale club relies upon the listing from the supplier."

"§328-61 Notifying consumer. (a)
No person shall sell or offer to sell any uncooked thawed food which
substantially resembles the physical appearances of the fresh food without a
