There is no canon explanation as to the preservation of food stocks, medications or explosives. Both 3rd and 4th edition explain the human freezing process, pg 12 in 3rd edition and pg 26 in 4th edition.
The food should not be a major concern if it is essentially canned, like an MRE. Food scientists actually sampled a supply of canned foods that were 40 years old.
