Eating pasta or rice that is more than two days old can lead to serious problems. For what ? Due to a bacterium, Bacillus Cereus, warns the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (Afsca), report several media in the north of the country.
“This bacterium is naturally present in pasta and rice, but the problem is that it leaves behind spores which, if they grow, can produce toxins. »
And these toxins can cause disease. “For the average person, it’s about vomiting. For those at risk, such as young children, the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, or pregnant women, there can be serious complications, especially to the liver. In the past, there have been cases of children dying after eating spoiled pasta,” says Afsca.
A golden rule to follow, concludes Afsca: keep rice or pasta cool, below ten degrees Celsius, two hours after cooking. And only take them out of the fridge to eat them immediately.
