No Food Available With Food In Ration Box

I had planned on building a Microbe Musher and saving all the Muckroot I had found, so I set Muckroot to be not consumed.

Next thing I know, it's showing zero calories available and my Dupes are about to starve. I moused over the kCal and it showed 0, and said nothing was available.

I checked the ration box, and there was plenty of food, Muckroot in there.

I made Muckroot consumable, and it still showed 0 kcal.

I changed nothing else, reloaded, and now there is 32800 kcal.

My Dupes might have starved.
