re: Need Advice From Louisiana Electricians

Bee rye has given the correct answer. You need to change the breaker in the panel to a GFCI breaker. Once you do this, the entire circuit is GFCI protected, so you can ditch the GFCI receptacle (which is, in fact, required in the location mentioned) and replace it with a standard plus USB ports.

The only other thing you might be able to do is this (and it's unlikely): if there is an outlet upstream of your island outlet (possibly the fridge outlet you mentioned) you could replace it with a GFCI and the downstream outlet on the island would be protected. It's way more likely though that the island outlet is the upstream one, so this probably isn't an option. GFCI outlets protect themselves and all outlets downstream of them (if they are wired from the GFCI "load" terminals).
