I would imagine that anything that's in an airtight sealed container, such as chip bags, would be fine. That would also include cans. Your refrigerator and freezer, also, would probably count as a sealed container.
Smoke in a building fire can contain all sorts of weird chemicals from burning plastics and whatnot that could get deposited onto stuff, so even if you can't see any soot in your apartment I wouldn't dismiss all concerns. How tight is your budget?
I'd wash sealed containers first, then go for it.
The budget isn't super tight, but nothing is open yet where I am. I'm just a bit hungry at the moment, because I missed eating for most of yesterday.
When the stores do open, I'll be at work and will have to wait until after my shift to buy more food.
I hadn't heard about this aspect of fire safety before today, so I figured I would see if anyone on here knew more about it. Thank you for responding!
Don’t waste good chips on a silly worry like an asbestos fire.
If you can, perhaps talk with your boss about the situation. "I am hungry as my apartment building had a fire and all my food might be covered in toxins", is a one off that gets some extra dispensation.
Edit: your response as 6 hours ago. You either are the chips, or are at work.
I’m starting to think OP is the chips
I love the implication that, if they ate the chips, then they are not alive to be at work.
Yeah, I'd be generally concerned sleeping in the apartment, but your advice concerning the food seems sound.
Crack a window, then crack that mouth and pile in them chips 
Is it just me or this now vaguely sexual?
Nothing’s sexier than slightly cracked open lips
