Don't you get it, there are no Swiss canned vegetables on the UK
market, that would be a waste of money. You may find Italian tomato
products, because that is a big Italian export product. You may find
Swiss chocolate in the UK (and LBD requires that these be from the
list, because some of them do contain problematic ingredients), you
may find Thai fruit cans, but no Swiss vegetable cans (or only a
negligible amount).

I sometimes cross borders several times a week, and I can tell you
that markets are handled along national/regional policies, and so the
products on sale just across teh border in Germany or in France are
different from each other and different from those in Switzerland.
With some exceptions, of course, as some chains then open stores
across the border, too. But Swiss cans are not going all the way to
England.
