I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'store the jam?n ib?rico' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'food bank to avoid a disaster 43'15' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'food' could be 'bacon' (bacon is a kind of food) and 'bacon' is found in the answer.
'avoid' could be 'save' (saving is a kind of avoiding) and 'save' is found within the answer.
'a' could be 'one' and 'one' is located in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
