The Labor Department and Tyson Foods did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
The Labor Department has also opened investigations into Fayette Industrial and QSI that run cleaning shifts for Perdue and Tyson respectively, the newspaper said.
In April the Biden administration sent a letter to meat companies including Tyson and Perdue asking the companies to examine their supply chains for evidence of child labor.
The letter was part of an effort by several agencies, led by the Labor Department, to curb the use of illegal child labor across sectors.
