Food and beverage content production

Use this skill when producing food or beverage visuals for commercial, editorial, ecommerce, social, recipe, menu, packaging, or product-ad contexts. Treat the food as both a sensory subject and a regulated product: make it appetizing, but do not let aesthetics create a false product, false serving, false ingredient, false label, or unsupported claim.

This skill is not legal, nutrition, medical, or regulatory advice. For anything that could become a label claim, health claim, allergen representation, alcohol compliance issue, child-directed ad, marketplace listing, or paid media submission, prepare the creative and flag the approval required from counsel, regulatory, the brand owner, the platform, or the client.

Operating stance

Separate facts, client-provided claims, and production heuristics.

• Documented fact: information from the client brief, product label, recipe spec, signed asset library, official regulatory source, or platform requirement.
• Client claim: a statement the client wants to communicate. Require substantiation or approval before turning it into copy, packaging text, super, caption, or alt text.
• Production heuristic: a craft technique that improves appetite appeal but must stay truthful to the product.

Core rule: visuals may polish the product; they must not materially change what the customer would believe they are buying, eating, drinking, preparing, receiving, or ordering.
