Morphology
The meaning 'foods that have not been preserved' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fresh' (recently produced/unspoiled) modifying 'foods' (things eaten). This simple adjective + noun pattern is standard in English and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Fresh foods comes from the simple picture of food picked or made very recently, like fruit picked that morning and eaten that day. The word fresh shows it was not kept for a long time, so fresh foods means 'foods eaten soon after harvesting or production'.
