Maggot found in middle school cafeteria didn't eat food

After examining the maggot recently found on the lunch tray of an Untalan Middle School staff member, University of Guam entomologist Ross Miller concluded that he does not believe the maggot was feeding on the food in the container. Miller says it is most likely that the fly developed in food scraps in the garbage cans or at another nearby location and was inadvertently dropped or crawled on its own to the Styrofoam container sometime during the day it was discovered.

As a result, the kitchen and cafeteria at the Barrigada campus, operated by Kings Restaurant, continues to maintain an "A" rating.
