Can rotting food causes maggots to hatch in frig?

Yes, rotting food can cause maggots to hatch in a refrigerator if the conditions are right. Flies can lay eggs on decomposing food, and if the temperature is warm enough and the food remains in the fridge for an extended period, those eggs can hatch into maggots. While refrigeration slows down the decay process and can deter fly activity, it doesn't completely prevent it if the food is already infested before being stored. Regularly cleaning and checking food can help prevent this issue.
