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?

This reminds me of the old theory of spontaneous generation where it was believed that certain living things could be created from non-living things. There were old recipes for things like bees and mice:
“Recipe for bees: Kill a young bull, and bury it in an upright position so that its horns protrude from the ground. After a month, a swarm of bees will fly out of the corpse.
Jan Baptista van Helmont’s recipe for mice: Place a dirty shirt or some rags in an open pot or barrel containing a few grains of wheat or some wheat bran, and in 21 days, mice will appear. There will be adult males and females present, and they will be capable of mating and reproducing more mice.”
