Recent X-ray observations in the central compact remnant of Puppis A and other young pulsars have provided convincing evidence about the anti-magnetar nature of the so-called central compact objects (CCOs). The measured period derivative, corrected by the proper movement, provides exceptionally low superficial magnetic fields for such sources. Using the dipole radiation canonical model, the superficial magnetic field of the CCO (RX J0822-4300) in Puppis A was estimated to be B ≃ 2.9 x 10¹⁰ G. In this paper, we present a numerical model to interpret the unusual magnetic-field behavior in RX J0822-4300. Using the magnetohydrodynamic simulations during the hypercritical accretion phase, we propose that a variety of MeV neutrinos is created given evidence about the submergence of the magnetic field in the pulsar. We investigate the production, propagation, oscillations, and detection of MeV neutrinos from this source. The detection of neutrino events with their flavor ratios would be a compelling signature of the decreasing evolution of the magnetic field not only in RX J0822-4300 but also in CCO candidates.
