Yes. Since all food consumed in Antarctica -- with a exceptions, below -- is imported, it is either canned or frozen for transport to the continent.

Fresh produce can be imported during the summer season. Some scientific stations grow lettuce, tomatoes, spices and edible flowers in hydroponic labs, for consumption on the continent. Per the Antarctic Treaty, all food grown on the continent must be consumed on the continent.
