There are items that are bacteriostatic or free from bacteria. Lard, honey and bacon grease are all bacteriostatic. They are this way because if a bacterium landed on them, they would surround or encapsulate the bacteria depriving it of water, thus killing it. Ancient civilizations used olive oils, vinegar, honey and alcohol to store food in to preserve them for longer than a season or two. These were stored in wax lined clay urns or pots and then wax sealed at the top.
