I haven't worked specifically on the Tanzania dataset, but I always refer to the country questionnaire that is published as an appendix in the final report when I have questions like these. It seems that the food intake questions (if that's what you're looking for for "food insecurity") was asked of the household respondent, so I would look for the corresponding variables in the household recode file. They were questions 116-129, so the variable naming convention likely refers to those numbers in some way. I'd use Stata's lookfor command to search for those numbers or key words in the questions, since some variation of those are used for variable labels.

Alternately, there may have been some food intake questions that were asked of individuals near the anthropometry section that would be found in the individual (woman's, man's or child) recode files, but I haven't looked, not even to see who was sampled for anthropemety in this survey.
