I see, so flys cannot survive in anoxic conditions?

I have done no research on it. But I wouldn't think so.

No, adult fly would need more oxygen than would be available

Yeah, I didn't know if a fly could survive without oxygen.

There is no way a maggot can survive in a properly sealed can of food. When the can is sealed, a shot of steam is put in to help vacuum seal the can when it cools. It is then retorted so the internals of the can reach over a certain temperature for a certain period of time that it kills all organisms. If you find maggots in a can, the seal has been breached somehow and the maggots got in that way. They did not grow from the food from when the can was sealed and retorted.
