If the target is illegal as the spell tries to resolve, perhaps because it has been removed from the graveyard, you will not create a Food token.

Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.
