Most of us toss leftover rice into the fridge without thinking. But rice can hide a danger—even when refrigerated. The main culprit is a bacteria called Bacillus cereus, which can survive cooking.
Why Rice Can Be Dangerous
-
Surviving Spores: Bacillus cereus spores can survive cooking.
-
Rapid Growth: If rice sits out too long before cooling, spores multiply.
-
Heat-Resistant Toxins: Reheating doesn’t destroy the toxins, so even microwaving contaminated rice can make you sick.
Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (1–5 hours after eating).
How to Stay Safe
1. Cool Rice Quickly
-
Don’t leave rice at room temperature for more than 1 hour.
-
Spread it in a shallow container to cool faster.
2. Store Properly
-
Use airtight containers.
-
Place rice in the coldest part of the fridge, not near the door.
3. Don’t Keep It Too Long
