Honolulu Bakery Ordered Closed as Health Department Issues Red Placard
Honolulu is a city in Honolulu County, Hawaii (a consolidated city-county). The Hawai'i Department of Health's Food Safety Branch issued a red placard on October 7, 2026, ordering the immediate closure of Golden Coin Bake Shop at 1814 Colburn Street in Honolulu. The establishment, operated by GU Industrial & Business Corporation, was cited following an inspection that raised concerns involving refrigeration, packaging, equipment cleanliness and hot water supplies.
Under Hawai'i's placarding system, a red placard is the department's most serious enforcement action and means a food establishment may not reopen until the identified violations have been corrected and a follow-up inspection has been completed. Health officials scheduled the follow-up visit for October 9.
