Rice
There was a number of food poisoning outbreaks that have been associated with rice as leftovers in the 1970s. Ever since then, there has been an increased awareness for a microorganism in rice called “Bacillus cereus”, which apparently multiplies at room temperature.
Don’t rush into throwing out all your uneaten rice, just don’t forget to store it in the fridge rapidly. Food safety guidelines mention that it’s important to keep your foods hot or cold if you’re not going to eat them within two hours. And make sure that when you reheat rice, it’s steaming hot in all the places! Plus, make sure you don’t reheat it more than once!
