Larvae Found on Pizza?

Candler resident Lori Hancock, 29, said she bought three pepperoni Hot-n-Ready pizzas at the restaurant Saturday afternoon for her son’s outdoor birthday party at a friend’s home.

A few hours later, the homeowner noticed something unusual on the last pizza, Hancock said. “They looked like tiny bits of rice clumped together,” she said.

Hancock took the remainder of the pizza to her home, where later that evening she saw what she said were live maggots underneath the cheese.

You know, I watch a lot of CSI, and I think I heard it mentioned on there that maggots are primarily found in rotting organic matter.
