How do maggots get into the fridge if food has been left there too long with the power off?

Are the eggs already in the food? Are they sitting elsewhere in the fridge? Do they sneak in through some unsealed part of the fridge?

They are already on / in the food.

We had an issue years ago at home where some cereal we bought had moth eggs in it and when we opened the plastic packaging we could see the eggs and baby moths moving about.

Out of disgust and stupidly we left the bag open to take pics for a complaint when our cat knocked it off the counter and the content went everywhere. We then had to clean up cereal, egg dust, and moth larvae off the floor. We obviously didn’t get everything as we had an issue with moths in the house for a while afterwords.

In short always keep your food in air tight containers if possible.
