During a follow up inspection done yesterday, the Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) Food Safety Branch allowed Ocean Club at Haliʻi Kai to reopen, issuing a green “pass.”

DOH required the restaurant to take the following corrective actions:

• Discard all contaminated food products and gnawed food storage containers;
• Thoroughly clean and disinfect all food and non-food contact surfaces;
• Seal any cracks, crevices, and holes to prevent vector entry into facility;
• Increase professional pest control operator treatments 2-3 times per week until rodent issue has been abated;
• Facility to undergo a deep cleaning and disinfection; and
• Remove unnecessary equipment and supplies to prevent harborage sites.

During the follow-up inspection, DOH determined that all of the violations had been resolved.
