HI and welcome. This is a problem that people are currently having and for this reason I never give food as a reward (unless with submissive or abused dogs...all depending again of course).
If you like the PR method then continue. Trade the food for a favourite toy instead..in other words make a game out of it. Keep the praising to a minimum, meaning don't go over board.
Is this pup starting to guard his meal? When you go to the food bowl can you touch him without reaction? Does he freeze when you are close to his food or treat that he is eating?
