Generally, pickled meat and fish will be available. If you don't wash it carefully, you can eat it, but it is recommended to eat less or not. Maggots don't disappear for no reason, you have to make sure you have them first.

There are often many fly eggs on dried fish. If you soak in the water for a long time, the fly eggs on the dried fish will hatch and the white wriggling maggots will come out. Fish maggots are decomposed by microorganisms to produce toxins, which are harmful to human health.

Methods of preventing maggots from growing in pickled food

After pickling, put it in the refrigerator (this step is omitted in the twelfth lunar month), and then take it out and put it in the shade to dry or dry quickly, so it is not easy to attract flies and insects. Sealed, packed as tightly as possible, and the outside of the package is clean. Flies look for food by smell. There is no good way to put it in the open air, just a little less water will do.

Once meat flies are found to take advantage of the situation and maggots are found on individual dried fish, measures should be taken to eliminate maggots in the bud. Never mix dried fish with other normal untreated dried fish, otherwise it may cause a large area of maggots.

You can kill maggots with high temperature or low temperature. If there are quick-frozen refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators, and the temperature is below-18 degrees Celsius, you can seal the pickled fish in plastic bags, put them in quick freezing for half an hour, and then take them out to dry. If there is no quick-freezing equipment, you can kill maggots in the microwave oven and bake salted fish with maggots in the microwave oven for half a minute with high heat. In addition, if maggots are still on the surface, they can also be killed by strong ultraviolet rays.
