It's not a game balance issue, kept items usually aren't even the best/most efficient choices. You can turn Sour meat(in fact even rotten meat) into backfat oil and it's a million times more useful than kept sour meat. Ambrosial meat can become staminal drenches which never spoil, weigh like a third as much and apparently restore just as much if not more. Apples/grandgrapes can be combined with water and are both more effective AND weight less.

All of which just makes it that much more annoying when you have a quest that uses just a few of these stupid things and you still don't have enough 12 hours into the game even though you probably never used more than one of them for yourself.
