Rotten
>A rotten item is a corpse, body part or an item of food that has spoiled, either from not being in a stockpile (if food) or just over time (if a corpse/body part). It will create miasma if in an enclosed area.
Often a job in a kitchen, still or farmer's workshop will be canceled with the announcement "...needs unrotten (item)". That doesn't mean you only have rotten ones, it means there is not an appropriate item that is available. Items that are forbidden, marked for dumping, or that have no path will be disregarded for workshop tasks.
Body parts of living dwarves may also be marked as "rotten". This has been observed to occur after exposure to the blood of certain forgotten beasts. The afflicted body part produces miasma from time to time.
