3 Aug 2026 Zhengzhou Synear Food Co., Ltd.UFLPA list: frozen food manufacturer Zhengzhou Synear Food added Order
The U.S. Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) added the frozen food manufacturer to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List because it works with the Xinjiang government to take in Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz or members of other persecuted groups under state labour transfer programmes. The company's goods are therefore presumed to have been produced with forced labour on import into the US unless the importer rebuts this.
Food importers should also check suppliers outside Xinjiang for involvement in state labour transfer programmes.

The Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force chaired by the US Department of Homeland Security added a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of magnesium fertiliser and magnesium alloys to the UFLPA Entity List because the US government has reasonable cause to believe that it sources magnesium from the Xinjiang region. Its goods are therefore subject to the rebuttable presumption that they were made with forced labour and may not be imported into the United States.
Raw materials must be traced back to their region of origin – even indirect links to Xinjiang can block imports into the United States.

The Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force chaired by the US Department of Homeland Security added a Xinjiang-based mining company (non-ferrous metals) to the UFLPA Entity List because the US government has reasonable cause to believe that it works with the Xinjiang regional government to recruit, transport and receive Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and members of other persecuted groups. Its goods are therefore presumed to have been made with forced labour and are barred from import into the United States unless the presumption is rebutted.
For metals from China, screening against the UFLPA Entity List down to mine level belongs in every supplier assessment.
