Overall: @Lightburst: Good article. Though, I feel like the article is nearing WP:CLOP in a way that would make me a prefer a tiny rewrite in some areas. Onegreatjoke (talk) 03:04, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: Thanks for the message, I looked at Earwig, and the score was 16.7% - and that involved organizations and quotes. I added quotes to the bit about "butter, cheese, eggs, fruit, game, poultry" and removed one sentence from the lead. I also changed the wording from "mechanical refrigeration" to a "different system". If you have other specific areas that should be reworked please let me know. And thank you for the review!
