Can confirm this one, I’ve seen it multiple times. It’s super annoying to waste valuable consumables - I have to pay to replace them, and don’t have them when I need them.

It’s easy to trigger as you barely need to move your mouse at all. The context menu pops up over another item so your mouse is already over another item.

I uploaded a video clip demonstrating the problem: New World context menu uses wrong item - YouTube

You can see that I try to use the Poultry with Roasted Potatoes via right click->Use. After I click “Use”, the mouse move a little, and the Wild Berry Compote under the mouse is consumed instead. I try again, and the Herb Roasted Carrots is consumed instead.

Thanks for the observation and report, I had this happen so often but never knew why, it seemed totally random to me until now.
