Could you all try repairing the game through origin ?
Right click on the game in origin
This happened to me. I realized it was when I tried to load 5 harvestables into the machine on my first go. I tried using only 1 and it seemed to "unlock" the machine. Afterwards, making a package with 5 harvestables also worked.
When I first tried the machine, I tried to load 5 (max available) but my sim would walk over and stand there for a moment, do nothing at all, then the interaction would disappear. I never had the opportunity to load anything. I tried this a few times and nothing came of it. When I tried to load the fruit/veg individually, the machine recognized the request. I was able to load the harvestable and then activate the fizzing. After that initial success, I again tried to load 5 and it finally worked.
The npcs who try to use the machine at the community lot also don't seem to have any interactions. They walk up to it and nothing happens.
