Will17, In English the words doubt and question do not have the same meaning. "I have a question about this food." This means that I want to know how the food is prepared or what the ingredients are, etc. "I have a doubt about this food." This means that I think the food may be spoiled, bad-tasting, or unhealthy. Doubt always implies a negative connotation.
