Can You Eat Rice After 5 Days In Fridge?
It is generally not recommended to eat rice that has been in the fridge for more than five days as it can cause food poisoning. When cooked rice is left at room temperature, it can form spores that grow into bacteria that produce toxins that can cause illness. If rice has been properly stored in the fridge within two hours of cooking, it can be safely consumed within three to four days, but after that, it is better to be on the safe side and throw it away.
