Email sent to the contact address for Milegate 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, and a link we’ve discovered between a company engaged in such practices and your supply chain – Donggang Jinhui Foodstuff Co. Ltd. We have uncovered evidence that Donggang Jinhui 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. We have found evidence of North Korean labor at Donggang Jinhui’s plant as recently as 2023. According to our research, Donggang Jinhui has supplied seafood to Milegate Ltd.'s brand, Blue Ocean. While we understand that you may not be aware of the above issues, does Milegate Ltd. have any comment to make in response to this email?"
