How Do Maggots Get In Sealed Food?
Maggots can get into sealed food through eggs already present in the food before it was sealed, or through tiny holes or gaps in the packaging that allow flies to lay their eggs on the food. Some types of packaging are not completely airtight or may have small openings that maggots can use to gain access. Maggots can also chew through thin plastic packaging to reach the food. It is important to properly store and dispose of food to prevent fly infestations and the emergence of maggots.
