Very few people realize that cooked rice can be responsible for their food borne illness. Rice forms the basis of many ethnic foods and foods containing rice are frequently implicated in food poisoning episodes. It is common for food producers to prepare large quantities of rice a day ahead of use and leave it to cool slowly at room temperature, before heating and serving the next day. Such practices lend themselves to time/temperature abuse due to a slow rate of cooling. Temperature abuse allows pathogenic bacteria to grow, some of which produce toxins.
Uncooked rice frequently contains bacteria called Bacillus cereus. These bacteria can form protective spores that survive the cooking process. If cooled slowly, these spores can germinate, grow and produce an emetic (vomit inducing) toxin. Reheating rice before serving will not inactivate the emetic toxin or kill all the bacterial cells, so the rice may not be safe.
If you consume cooked rice that is contaminated with Bacillus cereus toxin you are likely to experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting within 1 to 6 hours, occasionally ...
... followed by diarrhea within 10-12 hours. The illness is short lived with recovery within 12-24 hours.
