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.
