That the world's greatest detective (Sorry Brucie, you don't cut it) would not be able to spot the signs of advanced cannibalism in someone. The consumption of human meat, particularly brain matter, is linked with a whole host of crazy-making neurological diseases, plus there's also the question of parasites. Hannibal's a gourmet chef and entertains lavishly; if he's serving steaks, which he know he does and may assume he has done, then he'll be doing them rare because that's how gourmet chefs prepare steak. There is, therefore, a rather nasty problem for our dear little high-society people-eater, and it will affect his brain sooner or later. The in for Sherlock is therefore to get him on the ropes while Hannibal Magnussen is forced to rely upon his brother to silence critics... and since there's no more Charlie boy, that's a very fast downward spiral. =]
