The concern of having critters big and small get into your food is simple to avoid. Like others have mentioned, definitely don't keep food in your tent if you're in bear country, and never keep food stored in your bike bags overnight or you could wake up to holes chewed through your nice bikepacking bags! Here's how I handle it:
Firstly, I use these odor-proof OpSak bags <https://loksak.com/opsak/> made by LokSak. Basically, they're heavy duty zip-loc bags that come in various sizes. I store anything that resembles food or would give off a smell, like toothpaste, deodorant, etc. Store all this stuff inside the bags, inside your bikepacking bags. Secondly, overnight I will take all these odor-proof bags and place them in a small, waterproof stuff-sack (like these <https://seatosummit.com/products/the-ultra-sil-stuff-sack> made by Sea to Summit). That all gets strung up high enough on a tree branch with a decent length of paracord and a heavy carabiner, far enough away from the campsite - usually 50-100 yds away. The carabiner serves double-duty as a weight to get the cord lofted up and over a high tree branch, and you can clip the bag onto it.
