Honolulu – The Hawaiʻi Department of Health (DOH) issued a red placard and immediately shut down Delice Crepes (lunch wagon), located at 66-472 Kamehameha Hwy in Haleʻiwa, because there were no functioning hand-washing stations inside the food truck.

During an inspection conducted on March 21, 2024 to address a complaint, the DOH inspector noted critical violation(s) including:

•  The single sink inside mobile unit designated for hand washing was not operational. There were no other hand-washing options available inside the unit.
