If you're doing still photos of food, surely you can just put more light on the subject or use a longer exposure.
With modern sensors, ISO is mainly limited by thermal noise. Astrophotographers often use cooled sensors to allow higher sensitivity, but it's tricky to cool it very much without moisture from the air condensing inside or on the lenses.
