Here is a tip for preventing food waste: After opening and using part of a container of any semi-liquid food that has to be refrigerated, close the lid tightly, turn the container upside down, and place it inside a bowl to collect any leakage. Then put the bowl and container into the refrigerator. The food will move downward and prevent air from entering the container around its lid. The lack of oxygen will delay growth of mold and resulting spoilage of the food. This technique works for sour cream, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, salsa, etc.
