Email sent to the contact address for Dandong Omeca.
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 Dandong Omeca Food Co., Ltd. employed North Korean laborers after the December 2019 deadline for the repatriation of overseas North Korean workers required under UN Security Council Resolutions.
Dandong Omeca’s international customers include companies in the United States, where the import of goods produced by North Koreans is prohibited.
Has Dandong Omeca informed its international customers that North Korean labor is used in its supply chain? Does Dandong Omeca have any comment or statement to make in response to this email? Please reply by close of business June 16, 2023."
The Outlaw Ocean Project emailed: "As we haven't heard back from you on this, we wanted to check if you had any comment or statement to make at this time?"
