FlexPro Meals, a Kansas City meal prep and delivery company, uses images to advertise online that do not depict the food they actually send to customers. Through Google Image searches of the dishes, the 41 Action News Investigators were able to find at least four confirmed instances in which FlexPro took pictures from other sites and branded them as their own.
