1. Three shopping carts filled with food. WRONG
it is an incomplete sentence or a part of a sentence. it is not a sentence by itself.
2. Three shopping carts filled with foods. WRONG
"foods" is not a word. "food" is singular as well as plural.
3. Three shopping carts are filled with food. CORRECT
its a complete sentence, which makes complete sense.
4. Three shopping carts are filled with foods. WRONG
again, "foods" is not a word.

Food is uncountable, isn't it? For a complete sentence, 3 will be better. You might use 1 when you have other things to add on in your sentence. E.g. Three shopping carts filled with food, Two boxes filled with bottled drinks, and so forth.

Sentence 3.
Sentence 1 has no verb. Sentence 2 has no verb, and 'foods' is not a word. Sentence 3 is correct. Sentence 4 would be correct, but foods is not a word.
The proper plural (more than one) form of food is in fact food. (Actually, there is no singular (only one) form of food. It is only plural)
Hope this makes sense.
-edit-
oh my.. i just realized this: sentence 1 can be correct, if you're talking about the cart magically filling itself with food... or if they're in the process of being filled. i looked at it differently the first time. Both 1 and 3 are correct, depending on what you're trying to say.

Food cannot have an 's' on the end of it, because it is both singular and plural, so 2 and 4 are wrong. Number 3 probably makes the most sense because number 1 is a sentence fragment, and doesn't really make much sense.

Numbers 1 and 3 could be used and are correct.
Numbers 2 and 4 are both incorrect.
