If this helps at all: I don't have Island Living, but I've also seen this bug since the June 18 patch.
This happens pretty consistently on the home lot - My sims keep autonomously heading for the spoiled food by the grill in the backyard instead of the fresh meal inside the fridge.
I've also seen this happen on a public lot (Park) - When hungry, my played sims will autonomously eat spoiled food in their inventories rather than cook something on the grill or use the vending machine.
I'm testing to see if the behavior of NPC townies on a public lot is also affected, but so far the answer appears to be no. Or at least any spoiled food left out for any length of time has consistently been picked up by a townie and tossed in the nearest trash can. (For once they seem to have more sense than my played sims!)
I noticed it when I got Island Living and I've been in Sulani ever since. My Sims never use to eat spoiled food. Part of the issue is when they patched in for Sims to grill and put the food in their inventory. I wish they would let Sims grill and then place the food on the table. Same thing with ice cream; they finish it and put it in their inventory which they have always done. I don't want my Sims or other Sims eating spoiled food--super annoying and ruins my parties. Also, why do Sims cook food when they have food in the refrigerator; that has always been super annoying. Yet the more pressing issue is this eating spoiled food.
I went to play a family in Brindleton Bay to see if this happens, and it did. I took another couple who are friends out to dinner and the other couple's girlfriend kept pulling spoiled grilled fruit from her inventory. I hope this is fixed soon.
July 21st, Sims dropped by to bring me food in Sulani. Imagine one of the hungry guest pulling spoiled hamburgers from his inventory to eat. After each time he pulled out a spoiled hamburger, I had to pause move it to a table and then delete the table. Then I had to go into their household so he could clean out the spoiled hamburgers in his inventory because he kept doing this after I deleted the food once he put it on the table.
I have been getting tons of complaints in my sims 4 FB group about sims eating spoiled food because it ends up in their inventories .. I have also had some the could not grill hot doga and I personally have had roasted fish disappear
