I used to live next door to an Italian grocery store and used to see moldy
looking things hanging from hooks at the butcher counter. That is where I
discovered Prosciutto. That stuff is well preserved with sugar and salt. They
only thing that I would be worried about would be if they had been left open, in
which case they would still be safe to eat, but dried out and the texture of
jerky.
