premise: Under section 36 of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968, goods are deemed to have been manufactured or produced in the country in which they last underwent a treatment or process resulting in a substantial change. Meat from animals coming into the UK and then cured here can be described as UK produce. Most well- known brands of ham or bacon are often advertised with packaging depicting a British countryside scene and described as farmhouse, which would lead shoppers to believe they are buying products made from British meat, but most are in fact made using imported meat.
hypothesis: Under section 36 of the Act, British lamb exported to France and slaughtered there is sold as French.
