3 popular dishes that become harmful when refrigerated:1. Mushrooms after reheating2. Rice dishes stored for too long3. Fried potatoes after reheating

Storing food in the refrigerator is a common practice, but not all dishes remain safe after cooling. Some of them can become a real health hazard. Experts have named three popular dishes that can become toxic if stored improperly.

1. Potatoes

Cooked potatoes left in the refrigerator can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Potatoes with mayonnaise or cream are especially dangerous - low temperatures create conditions for the growth of botulism, which can cause serious poisoning.

2. Mushrooms

Fried or boiled mushrooms should not be stored for more than 24 hours. Due to the proteins in their composition, cooling and reheating cause changes that lead to digestive disorders and toxic reactions.

3. Rice

Cooled rice may contain the bacteria Bacillus cereus, which produces toxins resistant to heat treatment. Even reheating won't destroy them, and food poisoning can be accompanied by severe vomiting and diarrhea.

To avoid problems, experts recommend eating these dishes immediately after preparation or storing them properly - in airtight containers and for no longer than 24 hours.
