[Moogie]

Sorry if this is already a known issue, but my hungry dwarves keep going to the trade depot to steal the biscuits I've put there for trade.

They were hauled to the depot after being designated via the Depot's task menu whilst a Human caravan was arriving and setting up their goods.

There's plenty more biscuits, roasts, fish, plump helmets and meat inside the fortress. Most dwarves eat those. A sneaky few slip out front and flip the bird at the humans who are waiting patiently for my broker to get his lazy bum out of bed (he always, without fail, goes to sleep as soon as any traders arrive, the lazy git).

The dwarves just are acting as if the Depot's just another stockpile, which is fair enough. If you want to keep your trade-food safe, you could forbid it once it's delivered and reclaim it just before you trade. That'll probably work. Probably.
