Correspondence
Email sent to Watson Enterprises, owner of North Shore Fishery.
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 the Chinese company Dandong Omeca Food Co. Ltd. used North Korean labor after the December 2019 deadline for the repatriation of overseas North Korean workers required under UN Security Council Resolutions. The import to the U.S. of goods produced by North Koreans is prohibited under United States sanctions. On its website, Dandong Omeca website identifies North Shore Fishery, a Watson Enterprises brand, as a “cooperative brand”. Does North Shore Fishery or Watson Enterprises have any comment or statement to make in light of the above? Please respond to this email by close of business June 30, 2023."
