I believe they are trying to protect the NZ exported lamb industry.

I've been to the UK and eaten organically-raised lamb there. I just plain
don't believe their statement about the UK.

I've seen the sheep all over the Yorkshire moors and other places - those
sheep live outside all year. If their feed is 'supplemented', it's by
feeding local hay in winter.

I think the word 'supplemented' can be used for many purposes, such as by
feeding local hay in winter.
