Morphology
The meaning 'an item that can be used or prepared as food' is directly and compositionally derived from 'food' (substance consumed) + 'product' (manufactured/tangible item). This noun–noun compounding is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Food product is made of two words, food and product, and means something 'made' or 'prepared' to be eaten. Think of a kitchen or factory where ingredients are mixed and turned into items for sale, which is why the phrase now means a processed or manufactured thing people can eat.
