Canned foods are packaged boiling hot which is why they always have a bit of a vacuum to them that you can hear being relieved when the can is pierced... The food in pouches is also cooked to the same temps but must cool some before packaging... maybe the hopper for the pouch filler was dirty or the cooling/holding tanks??
