Halekulani, on Honolulu‘s Waikiki beach, is the first U.S. luxury hotel offering “GMO-free cuisine”—organic gourmet menu items free of genetically modified organisms (GMO).
In order to ensure that food items contain a minimal amount of chemicals and pollutants, Halekulani sources produce from local organic farms. All dairy, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables available are free of chemicals, preservatives, hormones, food additives, enzyme flavorings and processing agents, including rennet used to make hard cheeses. Shunned are meat, eggs, and dairy products from GMO-fed animals. In addition, fish are wild-caught. Organically produced wines and USDA-organic juices are also offered at Halekulani.
In a trendsetting move in 2005, Halekulani eliminated all trans-fat food from the property—another way to provide guests with healthier lifestyle choices.
