Email sent to the contact address for Magasin Stalingrad.
The email said: "We’re contacting you in light of our latest investigation which concerns the use of forced labor in China’s seafood processing industry, and a link we’ve discovered between a company engaged in such practices and your supply chain – Donggang Jinhui Foodstuff. We have uncovered evidence that the Chinese company Donggang Jinhui Foodstuff has used North Korean labor after the December 2019 deadline for the repatriation of overseas North Korean workers required under United Nations Security Council sanctions. This evidence shows the presence of North Korean labor at Donggang Jinhui Foodstuff’s factory in Liaoning, China, as recently as 2023. According to our research, Donggang Jinhui Foodstuff has supplied MSC-certified cod to Delpierre. We understand that Delpierre white fish products are stocked by Magasin Stalingrad. While we understand that you may not be aware of the above issues, we want to ask if Magasin Stalingrad has any comment to make in response to this email?"
