What causes maggots in food?

Maggots are the larvae of flies, and they can infest food if the food is not properly stored or covered. Flies are attracted to food that is exposed, and they will lay their eggs on the food. The eggs will hatch into maggots, which will then feed on the food.

There are a number of things that can be done to prevent maggots from infesting food:

* Keep food covered at all times.

* Store food in airtight containers.

* Dispose of food waste properly.

* Keep your kitchen clean and free of food debris.

* If you see any maggots in your food, throw the food away immediately.

Maggots can be a health hazard, so it is important to take steps to prevent them from infesting your food.
