When certain food items are depicted in fiction they are almost always drawn or displayed in a particular way. Pizza is almost always pepperoni (which is occasionally paired with mushrooms), ice cream only seems to come in three flavors, and pasta is usually represented by spaghetti and meatballs. One reason for this is that it's easier to go with what is perceived to be the most popular flavor as that makes the food item very easy to recognize. Another reason is that it's easier to stylize or simplify a food's design in animation than to depict it realistically.
One thing to keep in mind is that certain food depictions may vary between different countries and cultures. The work will therefore need to establish an appropriate pattern for how that food is depicted in its setting, even if the trope is being played with.
A Super-Trope to Cartoon Meat, Cartoon Cheese, ISO-Standard Urban Groceries, Every Pizza Is Pepperoni, and Naturally Huskless Coconuts. For a more complete list, see the analysis page.

Wonder Woman (1942): Etta's sweet tooth allows for rather frequent depictions of sweets, which are quite standardized. Her candies are always a box of milk chocolates, desserts are always pies with a shell crust and small vent holes or elaborate sundaes.

Count Your Sheep: Despite the comic being a palette of soft blues, when bubble gum appears in this strip, it's pink. Word of God says that he tried making it blue, but it just didn't feel like bubblegum that way.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:
The food items that Link can gather in the wilds include shiny red apples, horn-shaped red peppers, clusters of bright yellow bananas, slender orange carrots, and various kinds of Cartoon Meat. Purchasable items include bright orange carving pumpkins and sticks of yellow butter. Palm fruit (coconuts) are an exception, as unlike typical depictions they're shown still within their green husks.
Cooked meals include triangular slices of flaky golden apple pie.

The Simpsons: Donuts are always beige with pink frosting, topped by multicolored sprinkles. The real-life Krispy Kreme even sells these!
This one has become so iconic that in some places around the world, pink-glazed donuts with sprinkles are outright sold as "Simpsons' Donuts" or "Homer Donuts".

Stardew Valley: Many of the cooked food items have a "stock" appearance: pancakes are in a stack with butter on top, the burger appears to have red meat and greens (despite being made of eggplants), ice cream is three multicolored scoops, and maki is four identically-sized rolls. Fruits and vegetables are also mostly "stock", with red apples, red tomatoes, long yellow bananas, a pair of red cherries, red jelly, and green pickles.

Disney Magic Kingdoms: Besides having stock depictions of pepperoni pizza slices, burgers, and other such things, the majority of the concessions are topped with the products (food, drink, toy, etc) they sell. Exceptions include:
The Face Paint Studio has a painter’s palette, but a given buyer’s face is painted to look like that of one of three different animals.
The Pawpsicle Stand, being part of the Zootopia collection and a nod to Nick Wilde's hustle, has a Jumbo-pop slowly melting on its roof. The runoff is collected in the gutter and flows down into a jar. The product being sold is of course the resulting pawpsicles.

Poison Ivy Gulch:
Beer appears sometimes in strips set in the saloon. It is always shown in a glass mug with foam on top; color comic strips show it as being gold-colored.
Bubble gum appears too in spite of being Anachronism Stew. Color strips show it as being pink.

Most of the basic food items on Neopets are kept simplified. For example, while Pizzaroo sells multiple pizzas with odd toppings, the item simply called "Pizza" is a single slice of pepperoni. In general, the more "normal" the food is meant to be, the more likely it is to be depicted as a simplified version of the real-world equivalent, while the "strange" foods have more variety, but are more likely to also be completely fictional dishes or extremely gross (by our standards) as a result.

Fallout: The very few consumable items that haven't mutated tend to fit this trope. Fresh apples are a deep shade of red; fresh carrots are long and bright orange; fresh corn is a nice sunny yellow; wine is always red wine. Fallout 4 even introduces the "perfectly preserved pie", a cheesecake topped with a brightly colored strawberry sauce.

Team Fortress 2 has the Sandvich, half of a sandwich made up of 2 triangular slices of white bread, lettuce, Swiss cheese, ham, and a green pimento-stuffed olive pinned on with a toothpick. This is the favorite food item of the Heavy, who can eat it to restore health. Other food items available to the Heavy include the Second Banana (a generic half-peeled yellow banana), the Dalokohs Bar (a generic half-unwrapped chocolate bar note "Dalokohs" is the Russian word for "chocolate" spelled backwards ), and the Buffalo Steak Sandvich (a generic raw ribeye steak).

Hay Day features two types of cheese, a generic yellow cheese with holes, and goat cheese depicted as a white wheel with a small wedge cut out. Apples and cherries are solid red, oranges are solid orange, bananas are bright yellow, carrots are solid orange with green leaves, grapes are purple bunches with green leaves, wheat is a single yellow stalk. Pumpkins are solid orange, except around Halloween when they turn into Jack-O-Lanterns as they're harvested. Butter is produced in traditional yellow sticks. There are a few types of donuts, all O-shaped with different toppings. The list goes on.
