Dangers of Eating Day-Old Rice: What You Should Know

So, let’s go over Dr. DeDecker’s safest practices so that we can do our best to prevent this illness from happening in our own lives: “To prevent getting sick, serve rice as soon as it has been cooked. Then, put the leftover rice in the fridge within one hour of cooking it. Keep the rice in the fridge no longer than one day. Do not reheat the same portion of rice more than once. Rice should be stored below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.”
