You generally don't own the copyright to images that you scrape from the web, even public websites. A number of companies handle consumer product information internationally (such as GS1 for barcodes) and shops license product information (images, EAN Codes, nutritional information) from them, so they don't have to deal with each manufacturer individually. The manufacturers also work with these organizations. If they went into supermarkets and took pictures of all the products it would be another story, but as is, they are using pictures on the internet in a way that they aren't licensed to. This is not particular to the UK, just because some site display a picture publically does not mean you are allowed to display the same picture on your site.
