Set up a stockpile to pull from the kitchen, and make sure it has room.  If you just let the haulers figure it out, they tend to let it accumulate.  This is a big issue with seeds in buildings producing them too.

Priorities.

I think a good ratio is 20 dedicated haulers out of population of 60.
Beyond that you don't really need that many dwarves to do jobs, so you can set them all to hauling only.

It's just that if there is anything else going on the map - fruit picking, siege loot, freshly mined stone or cut woods - haulers tend to ignore food near kitchen/butcher.

I recommend storing meat/fat/fish in quantum food stockpiles anyway.
