It is OK to reheat rice at least once.

However reheating the rice more than once could cause bacteria to grow and cause the rice to dry out.

To reheat the rice add some more water to the rice and heat it in the microwave or in a pot on the stove.

3 days old rice is safe to eat as long as the 3 day old rice has been refrigerated.

Rice that has been refrigerated is good for around 5 days before it starts to grow bacteria and should be thrown out.

As long as the rice has been refrigerated the rice at 3 days old and even up to 5 days old is okay to eat.

Eating cold rice from the fridge is safe.

Since the rice has been refrigerated it would mean there wouldn't be bacteria on the cold rice.

So it is safe to eat the cold rice from the fridge.

Although the cold rice may not taste as good as hot rice or be as enjoyable as hot rice or warm rice the cold rice is perfectly safe to eat.

Cold rice is safe to eat as long as you handle it properly.

In fact, the cold rice may improve your gut health, as well as your blood sugar and cholesterol levels, due to its higher resistant starch content.

It is safe to eat the rice cold as long as it has been cooled and stored correctly.

Do not leave reheated rice sitting on the counter.

Following these steps will reduce the risk of food poisoning.

Do not reheat the rice more than once as this further increase the risk of food poisoning.

Also it is fine to eat leftover rice for several days after it was initially cooked.

Just make sure it was stored properly and wasn't kept in room temperature for a long time.

“Spores are present in food.

“It's OK to eat for several days if it's stored correctly.”

Refrigeration won't kill the bacteria but it will slow down their growth.

For this reason, any uneaten leftover rice should be thrown out after five days in the fridge.

Any longer and you risk having enough of the food poisoning bacteria present to make you sick.
