19 Mar 2025 • Wellness Wednesday

Learn how leaving cooked rice and other starchy foods at room temperature can lead to food poisoning and discover essential food safety tips to stay healthy.

When cooked rice or other starchy foods are left at room temperature for too long, these bacteria multiply and produce toxins that heat can’t destroy. This can lead to food poisoning, causing stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, usually a few hours after eating.

Food Safety Tips:
1. Don’t leave food out for more than 2 hours.
2. Refrigerate leftovers quickly.
3. Reheat till it’s steaming hot before eating!
4. Stay safe, stay healthy. No one wants stomach issues.
