Sharia wudu is not required before eating
Hadith 185
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَلَا تَتَوَضَّأُ؟ فَقَالَ: «أَأُصَلِّي فَأَتَوَضَّأُ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). He said: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came out from the place of relieving himself, and food was brought to him. He was asked, "Will you perform ablution?" So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Am I about to pray that I should perform ablution?"
