I think that depends if there's small print saying it's a rendering or sth

    I'm not sure that's allowed - https://verityrise.com/food-advertising-laws/#Core_Provisions_of_Food_Advertising_Laws

    Based on my read, the advertised product must be real and sold in the store and must match the product being sold.

    I'm sure some random mom and pop stores are unlikely to get called on it, but it seems AI generated images wouldn't be allowed (but I'm not a lawyer).

    How does McDonalds get away with it?

    They might food setters. There are specific rules about showing everything that is in the food but it doesnt have to be displayed as sold. So you can undertook it so it looks better. Use fresher stuff or push all the meat to the front and prop up the back with toothpicks. But it must contain the same stuff as sold. Its weird rules. But ai images surely break the rules.
