Email sent to two contact addresses for Donggang Huiyuan 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 Huiyuan Food (东港市惠源食品有限公司) 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 Huiyuan Food’s plant as recently as 2023. Does Donggang Huiyuan Food have any comment or statement to make in response to this email?"
The Outlaw Ocean Project received an auto-response email from Donggang Huiyuan confirming receipt of email query.
