Nitrogen gas is a very stable and inert due to its triple covalent bond in the molecular form, N2. Thus it does not react with the food and maintains the freshness of the content of the food packet. Conversely, oxygen can oxidise food and turn them rancid, and provide an environment for bacteria to grow which can result in food spoilage.

The packets of food are sealed airtight in a bacteria free-zone, so there's no bacteria till the packet is opened, which means there's no oxygen, so the bacteria cant respire, in order to love, so they'll die.
How is nitrogen useful for preventing food spoilage?
If food packages such as cans were sealed with nitrogen then aerobic organisms would not be able to grow because of the lack of oxygen. However, many yeasts, molds, and bacteria are anaerobic and would still be able to live and spoil the food.
