Email sent to the contact address for Rongcheng Taiming.
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.
Rongcheng Taiming Foods Co., Ltd. has received persons from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China under the government’s 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 programs which use coercive methods in worker enrollment, and obstruct freedom to leave employment.
Does Rongcheng Taiming Foods Co., Ltd. have any comment or statement to make in light of the above information? Please respond to this email by close of business July 19, 2023."
