An investigation has found nine large seafood companies in China have received at least 2,000 Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities from Xinjiang province - and that many of them supply the UK.
Seafood allegedly produced using the forced labour of Uyghur people in China may have been sold at Iceland - and could be on sale now at other British supermarkets, according to an investigation. Iceland told Sky News it no longer had a relationship with the Chinese supplier in question. Since 2018, the Chinese government is believed to have moved tens of thousands of Uyghurs from their homes in Xinjiang to other parts of China, as part of a 'labour transfer programme'.
It also said it was working with international auditing organisations, such as the Ethical Trading Initiative and Sedex, on the issue of relocation of Uyghurs in China. Sainsbury's 'working to understand situation' Uyghur workers were also deployed to other seafood factories run by the Chishan group, a Chinese conglomerate, according to The Outlaw Ocean Project's research.
