Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'canned' (preserved/sealed in a can) + 'food' (substance eaten); a learner who knows both words can infer that it refers to food packaged in cans. This compositional pattern is literal and cross-linguistically common, so it should be immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Canned food comes from the simple idea of putting food into a metal can and sealing it so it would not go bad. So, 'canned food' means food kept in a sealed metal container to stay good for a long time.
