Why? Will the Argentines have to raid Uruguay for all those tins of Fray Bentos?
That, to me, reads as tins of the product with the trade name of Fray Bentos not tins of a product from the town of Fray Bentos (that would have been written as '...all those tins from Fray Bentos'), two different things crab

And interesting as the BBC news article that you linked to is, again all it is reporting is that the town of Fray Bentos is exporting corned beef - nowhere does it state that it is exporting the product with the trade name Fray Bentos. The only mention of that trade name is the journalistic use of the photo of the old label and the link of the former export of corned beef to the fame of the name of that town.

Anyway, back to the original topic...
