” The other thing is local molds. If it gets fuzzy, cheese or meat, it can be wiped down with vinegar. “
My late father - son of German Wisconsin farmers - taught us that cheese and sausage weren’t fully ready until they had a good layer of mold...
Not sure how that applies to modern store-bought products, though... ;)

Your mileage may vary.
I've lived on a remote mountainside without cash income for months at a stretch, and had folks come over for dinner because the food was good. I just asked that they bring a gift of coffee, flour, salt or booze. And I sometimes provided the drinks, depending on what fruit was in season. Neighbor and I once drank 6 gallons of plum wine in a week and a half. He stopped by every evening with tobacco. ;)
