This issue is cause by cc sofas and benches.
Sims4Studio has a batch fix for those now so either remove them or update them.

Hello!
I experience the same problem since downloading Cats and Dogs Expandtion. When I play with my Main-Family, they all aren't able to eat. Tried to move them out and in, tried to sell the house, tried to move the house to another ground. Nothing worked on this issue. Other families are able to eat. I try to figure out, if there's a problem with my mods, but didn't find a solution yet. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. :-(
Factory Reset
Hi
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
If the game works without mods/cc, its' your mods/cc.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Tank you for your answer, but it didn't help. For over 4 Hours, I tried to figure out the CC, which could be the reason for the issues. After 4 Hours of trying, I identified about 20 files of CC, which wouldn't let the Sims eat. Then I tried another family - again the problem. Startet the game with only a few files of CC - again the problem. Tried to start the game with several other CCs, the game repeatedly crashed. Tried it again on a completely fresh installed Windows 10 on a brand new Gaming-Laptop, same issue. I'm really upset. Just removed all my Sims 4 stuff, now I'm reinstalling the game without the Cats and Dogs-Addon. Until this addon, everything worked perfect.
But thanks again for your help, I hope EA is able to fix this issue. Though it's EA, hope dies last.
If its' a cc issue, EA wont' fix it.
Do you get it with no cc installed as well on a fresh save ?
I have the same problem ☹️
I tried removing all the mobs, and the sims ate.
So I spent few hours to test all the mobs.
I bought an original fridge, saved,
and then dropped all the mobs out, dropped them back some by some.
Every time I dropped, I got into the game and tested if the sims can eat.
And I was sure all the mobs are okay.
Then I got back to the game,
started to play my main-family, CAN'T EAT AGAIN ☹️
Really don't know why, and I am so tired of starting all over again.
( I played in that family and save for a long time ☹️ )
