 Found on all manner of food, this is a small disclaimer at the bottom of the picture of the food, seemingly to serve one of two purposes.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) First and more common is to protect the company from ridiculous lawsuits from people who want to know where the milk is in their box of corn flakes because "it is on the box".
Second are those people who might deserve to be sued, putting pictures of a vast cornucopia of meat and vegetables on the front of a microwave meal consisting of two slices of re-formed beef, freeze dried gravy and two very sad potatoes. In these cases it can serve as shorthand for "The product will look nothing like this."
Related to Covers Always Lie and Adjacent to This Complete Breakfast. It's also related to TV food commercials, especially fast food commercials: The product you see on screen looks nothing like what you'll get at the store/restaurant.
Justified with mixes and so on, as a picture of the actual powder is not exactly useful for the buyer.
