      Antibiotics.

      We all would die so quickly and horribly without them.

            Pregnant women. Because they're hot and their milk supply is easy to induce.

              malted barley
              In the end of the world, or even just at the collapse of civilization as we know it, these can be used to make beer. Yeast is naturally occurring, hops just grow on vines, but malting grains seems to be the hardest part of the process to me.

                        If it's a gigantic asteroid that blots out the sun, water is easy to find but food is critical.

                        Well, no, (liquid) water would be quite scarce 😛

                        And still, only a small amount of water on Earth is actually drinkable.

                                      Flour. Maybe rice. Something of that nature. The only alternative option that's even close to food might be fuel, depending on the nature of the disaster.

                                      Water is everywhere outside of deserts, and there's enough raw materials for a thinned population to recycle for a long time. Food and medicine is what separates the living from the dead, and medicine isn't a single item. Edit: Although antibiotics or water treatment tablets are probably the closest approximation.

                                      Pleasantly surprised to not see more throwing star-type answers.

                                          Army MREs, the modern ones.

                                          Assuming I'm not teleported elsewhere, the place I live has plenty of drinkable fresh water and other supplies, so the only real concern is having consistent high-quality food available, and MREs are engineered to support people in the wild for several months, if not years. In case of a major war breaking out, so it would contain everything I would need to stay alive, or to trade to other people.
