I haven't actually paid too close attention to the specific numbers, but near far as I can tell from playing the game, food in backpack and chests are considered the same as being in a player's inventory, the food spoils at normal rate. However, in RoG, food in backpack has potential to get wet when it's raining, which will make it rot faster due to the wetness factor. Food in chests however do not get wet until moved.

Additionally, food left in the crockpot's ingredient slots without cooking will perish faster than normal, possibly at the same as ground rate. I'm unsure about the perish rate of the cooked result of a crockpot receipe when left in pot, though I suspect at the very least it is affected by the wetness factor.
