There'll of course be more tweaking/balancing on food spawns and the zombies as development progresses, but don't expect for premade foods to be as readily available like before. Please keep in mind that the designers are also actively looking at data from loot spawns so that they can tweak the system in order to make the game neither too hard nor too easy.
