Message sent to NTC Wismettac via the contact form on the company's website.
The message said that NTC Wismettac Europe B.V.’s supplier Rizhao Rongxing Food Co. Ltd. is a Rongsense Group company. The Rongsense Group has received multiple groups of persons from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China under the state-imposed labor transfer program. 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 schemes which use coercive methods in worker enrollment and obstruct freedom to leave employment. The U.S. has prohibited the importation of goods produced from state-imposed forced labor. The message asked for comment.
The company emailed confirmation of receipt of inquiry, saying: "We will review your query and you will be contacted shortly."
