Kulana Foods, Ltd.

Kulana Foods, Ltd. operates at 590 J W. Kawailani Street in Hilo, Hawaii County, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M12445 and P12445. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 26, 2021. FSIS classifies the establishment as small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. No custom-exempt activity is reported in the federal record, meaning the slaughter and processing work on file is carried out under federal inspection rather than as custom work returned to an owner for personal use. Secondary directory listings describe the business as a meat wholesaler and as a slaughter house and processing plant, and at least one listing site shows a menu for the location.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no website text was available for review. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, retail offerings, ownership, and history, are not yet on file. The listed phone number is (808) 959-9144.
