Correspondence
Email sent to two contact addresses at Eurospin.
The email said that Northseafood Holland BV has imported shipments of fish from Yantai Sanko Fisheries Co. Ltd., based in China. Yantai Sanko Fisheries Co. Ltd. has received persons from the Xinjiang region of China under a state-imposed forced labor transfer program since 2019 and until at least April 2023. The United Nations, human rights organizations and academic experts agree that since 2018, the Chinese government has systematically subjected Xinjiang’s predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities to forced labor across the country via state-sanctioned employment programs which use coercive methods in worker enrollment. The U.S. has prohibited the importation of goods produced from state-imposed forced labor. Northseafood Holland is a seafood supplier for Eurospin’s own-brand range, Ondina. The email asked for comment.
