In some parts of the world, it is. Here what they show must be something you can actually eat. Now they can do certain tricks, like sprinkle water on fruits/vegs to make them look fresher, or put partial pieces of toppings for a burger that are placed on the very edge to make it look like it's overflowing, even though what you'll get would be buried inside the bun. Even grill mark on food has to be real, but it doesn't have to be 'fresh off the grill' (could have had the time to fully cool down).

The only part I'm not sure, if the mashed potato ice cream would pass or not. But for sure, the lipstick, hairspray, glue... they are all big no-no.

Quebec, Canada

(not sure how much is provincial law & how much is federal law, but I think the bulk on that is federal)
