Re: The gaming industry has been doing this sort of thing for years.

Ever since Forza Motorsport started intruding into Gran Turismo's territory, there's been a push for more honest gameplay advertising in order to influence buyers looking for the best actual in-game experience (or they end up returning the game). The latest Forza installments generally display "Actual Gameplay Footage" captions for their ads.

PS. Some of they tricks food advertisers use are food-safe (certain oils, different recipes, and so on), meaning ad models could safely eat many models. What you need is a way to verify the product is actual product from the line, probably brought in by an unknown source to reduce the odds of tampering.
