Email sent to the contact address for Donggang Julong Food Co. Ltd.
The email said: "I’m contacting you in light of our latest investigation which concerns the use of forced labor in China’s food processing industry. We have uncovered evidence that Donggang Julong Food Co. Ltd. (东港巨⻰⻝品有限公司) employed North Korean laborers after the December 2019 deadline for the repatriation of overseas North Korean workers required under UN Security Council Resolutions. This evidence shows North Korean workers at Donggang Julong Food’s plant as recently as 2023. According to our research, Donggang Julong Food’s international customers include companies in the United States, where the import of goods produced by North Koreans is prohibited. Has Donggang Julong Food informed its international customers that North Korean labor is used in its supply chain? Does Donggang Julong Food have any comment or statement to make in response to this email?"
