AI trial pausedJust Eat pulls AI menu photos that put sausages in a glass of cola
Just Eat, a UK food delivery app, trialed AI images for restaurants that had no photos of their dishes. The tool drew each picture from the menu text and labeled it AI-generated. Some results went viral. A Northern Ireland cafe's sausage soda bread appeared as a pint of cola with meat floating in it. Garlic bread became a plane made of bread, and a cheese roll became sushi stuffed with cheese. In October 2026, Just Eat apologized for the inaccurate images. It began removing them and paused the rollout while it develops the tool further.
