No.  Controlled foods originating in and destined for North America would
use DES all others would use international PGP.  That allows for DoD
controls over the foods that it has classified as munitions.  Just think
of the danger to national security if a Swiss hacker were to get some
cheese, or an order of borst were to end up in Russia.
