Question

Is there an issue with eating food that was placed on a grave?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

The poskim do not find a prohibition on this.

[Even though there is an evil spirit at the grave, and one who walks between graves is required to wash hands, the poskim do not state a prohibition on food].
