There are cases where meals get dropped in doorways (distracted or fleeing wardens/doctors). These meals then can't get hauled away.
Tangentially related to this: I released this prisoner, who then went berserk at the edge of the map. He fell unconscious due to starvation and somehow wound back up in a prisoner bed. Yet doctors wouldn't autonomously feed him until I set the prisoner tab to chat and recruit again. Not a bug-bug, but odd behaviour worth mentioning. This is definitely bugged, making a new thread.
