You probably didn't update. Single meals are never prepared under Macrotastics now if you have OFB and can Make Many. Under present conditions, such a collision would just result in extra food in the cache, which is harmless.
I did update, that's why I was so astonished to see that. But as I said, it might have been just an outlier. It has never happened again, anyway.
I have a question about how food stocks are managed: If several sims have several meals in their inventory, which one will they pull out in order to Macro.../Eat? Is it determined by the hunger/food value ratio? Or is it the first/last meal put in inventory? I have several owned bakeries / delis offering selfmade food, so I'd like to know if there's a way to control the access to the merchandise.

First, sims on the lot will be searched for food in the inventory. The inventory will be searched in the following order:
1. Self, if Not Current Business Owner.
2. Selectable Sims(Except Business Owner) On Lot By Order of Object Instance
3. Business Owner if Selectable
When a sim is found to possess food, the food is then pulled in the following order:
1. Single dishes.
2. Single bowls.
3. "Touched" platters.
4. "Untouched" platters.
If a platter is returned to the inventory because it contains additional servings, it will become the "last" item in the inventory. I am, after some thought, also thinking of inverting the order of 1<->2 in the next version.

Aha! Great, now I finally know how to keep my employees from stealing from the overprized chef salad instead of making a sandwich.

Not clear on one thing, Pesc -- does the sign have to be on the lot for this to function, or is it like the macro controller, where it functions as long as it's in the game?

I really like this shiny, but didn't think I would at first. I didn't notice that the sim was creating a group meal instead of a single. I like that part of leftovers...I typically have even a single sim create group meals and place in the fridge for leftovers, especially if there is pregnancy involved. Anyway, thumbs up from me. No problems so far. Granted, I don't have any large households in play but haven't had issues with a second sim accessing the fridge while a meal is being prepared yet.
