0003727: Fooditems visible from stocks screen non existent in food stockpile
I have been wondering why all my dwarves are starving on my current fort, and so I looked up in the stocks screen where I expected to find all the lavish meals my cook had been preparing. I actually found some listed, but when I used 'z' to zoom to location, there was only something like a barrel of gnomeblight or other things at that position, without any trace of the prepared meals... I will upload the save later on.
Not too sure how this happened.
It's NO reclaimed fort or anything, standard dwarf mode!

Here is a save. Have a look at the first buzzard tallow roast in the stocks list and try to zoom there...

All of those meals appear to have been claimed by your militia commander, possibly related to the fact that he is holding his backpack in his right hand rather than actually wearing it.

This looks to be a variant of 0001608, though with a different root cause (rather than being insane, he's seemingly putting the rations into a nonexistent backpack).

Noticed it again with other military dwarves...

WORKAROUND: Set the food option from the supplies section in their squad to "carry no food". They will then hopefully drop their backpacks, and when they're done, you can change it back to the previous value. They will now hopefully equip their backpacks properly, at least my dwarves did it.
