Bacon is one of the fun 'rules of origin' cases where British bacon might not be what it seems. The pork used to make bacon can come from anywhere. Once it is cured, the country of curing is the origin so 'British' bacon might not be made from British pigs.

There has recently been a wave of Swine Fever in Europe so there was a glut of pork on the market as farmers slaughtered their herds before they got infected and respective governments did it for them. If you bacon doesn't specifically say the pork came from British farms, the meat could have come from anywhere..
