"Spill" is also used for solid foods. In some circumstances, "drop" seems to be a better choice. For example:

Oops! I dropped my hamburger.
Dude, why are you so clumsy? You spilled all your food on my notebook.

From Cambridge Dictionary

Spill: to (​cause to) ​flow, ​move, ​fall, or ​spread over the ​edge or ​outside the ​limits of something:

I spilled ​coffee on my ​silk ​shirt.
You've spilled something down ​your ​tie.
Let's ​see if I can ​pour the ​juice into the ​glass without spilling it.
He ​dropped a ​bag of ​sugar and it spilled all over the ​floor.
Crowds of ​fans spilled onto the ​field at the end of the ​game.

From thefreedictionary:

To cause or allow (a substance) to run or fall out of a container.

You can also say:

Be careful, don't spill your food.
