Poppycock! If it did that, the manufacturers wouldn't freeze and it's pretty much an industry standard.

So here we go. If the manufacture freezes, which kills the eggs, why are you then freezing again?

Because you cannot account for beetle infestation post-freeze at the manufacturing site.

Simple. After leaving the manufacturer's blast freezers they spend a lot of time in various common warehouse humidors and transit where the potential for re-exposure exists.
