ELI5. How is the hotdog in epoxy (link in text) not rotting?

212 views

So someone has encased an actual hot dog in epoxy (https://i.imgur.com/UDHms4S.gifv) and posts regular updates and it still looks pristine. I get that its airtight but it certainly wasn’t sterile when it went in so how come its not degrading over this length of time – 10 months and counting.

Rot usually comes through exposure to air and bacteria. When sealed in epoxy like that, it gets neither so no rot.
