An anecdote from a back, not bike, packing trip.
Years ago on my first trip out West I brought along all of the above in ziplock bags along with all my other foods in a bear canister (grizzly country). It was August and got up into the 60's-70's, and all the above food sweated out oils, which made their way past the ziplock seals and leaked all over the inside of the can. So I was one big pungent piece of bear bait. I spent MUCH time scrubbing the contents and the inside of the can with snow and chucking the contaminated snowballs as far into Upper Aero Lake as I could. As it was the only creatures to visit camp that night were mountain goats.
So be mindful of containing those foods effectively.
