Does reheated Rice save for consumption or not?

Did you know that the reheated rice could cause Food poisoning?


Yes. When rice is stored at room temperature more than 4 hours, it may contain Bacillus cereus (In spore form) that survive after some cooking process to be active again. 


So, it may produce toxin which cause food poisoning, when people consumed them.  So, rice that is


1. kept for more than 4 hours

2. contain slime

3. odour smell


should not be consumed. In fact, all leftover food have the tendency to contain Bacillus cereus. Hence, the leftover food should be placed in container with cover and kept them in freezer in order for the food to be placed longer.
