Explanation:
This phrase mostly appears when the box contains pre-cooked food or something alike and shows a picture with the same food presented in a more elaborate way.

Otherwise, I think it could be said as follows:
This picture does (may) not represent the product as contained in this package/box/...

Hope this is helpful.
