The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday it will no longer import steel or artificial sweeteners from two companies based in China due to their alleged use of forced labor.
The department said Baowu Group Xinjiang Bayi Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. and Changzhou Guanghui Food Ingredients Co. Ltd., which are accused of using forced labor to sell goods internationally, will join the list of companies sanctioned under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).
This action marks the first time a steel or aspartame company has been added to the UFLPA “entity list.” President Biden signed the UFLPA into law at the end of 2021 following allegations of abuse toward the ethnic Uyghur group and other persecuted groups.
