    Email sent to Kevin Larsen, Vice-President of Sales at Bornstein Seafoods Inc.

    The email said that the company’s supplier Rizhao Rirong is a Rongsense Group company, and the Rongsense Group has received persons from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China under the state-imposed labor transfer program. The email also said that the U.S. has prohibited the importation of goods produced from state-imposed forced labor, and asked for comment.

    Email sent to Bornstein Seafoods, asking to clarify if Bornstein Seafoods sourced any product from Rizhao Rirong, or any other Chinese supplier, to fulfill any U.S. Department of Agriculture contracts.
