On August 13, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that a U.S. company has been fined $575,000 for importing powdered sweetener that was made by prison labor in China. A passage of a 2015 law bans the import of goods made by forced labor and the penalty against Pure Circle U.S.A is the first fine issued by the agency. CBP said the company had imported at least 20 shipments of stevia powder and derivatives that had been processed in China with prison labor. Stevia is a plant extract used as a sweetener in sodas and other foods.
