They literally do that already. Heat doesn’t vanish from your food. It’s moved from the inside of the box to the outside of the box.
It’s an air conditioner built into a cooler.

It also won’t put out much more heat than is already in the room. It evacuates heat from it’s interior, heat that was already present in the room. If the room was colder than the inside of the fridge, it wouldn’t produce any heat at all. the thermostat would cut off after the temperature equalized and it wouldn’t run at all. When it does run it produces maybe a few dozen watts of waste heat. Definitely not useful to heat a space with.
