Morphology
The meaning 'foods preserved by freezing' is directly and compositionally derived from 'frozen' (preserved by freezing) modifying 'foods' (items eaten). This adjective + noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
The noun frozen foods comes from the simple idea of making foods very cold so they become frozen and do not spoil quickly. That's why the term means food kept very cold 'to keep fresh' and last longer.
