Default maggot in sausage

160F = about 71 Celcius..
ok well I cooked the sausages quite thorougly... pretty sure it reached
at least 71C, easily. So conclusion... some fly managed to drop an egg
in the leftovers when during the 4hrs outside the fridge... I should
not blame my butcher - eventhough I did see some flies?
