5 foods you should never keep overnight

1. Cooked Rice
Cooked rice can become unsafe if left overnight at room temperature.

Bacteria can grow rapidly in cooked rice

Reheating does not always destroy harmful toxins

Tip: If you must store rice, refrigerate it within 1 hour and consume it within 24 hours.

2. Cooked Eggs
Egg dishes and boiled eggs left overnight can spoil quickly.

They are highly sensitive to temperature changes

Bacteria can develop even if they look and smell fine

Tip: Store cooked eggs in the refrigerator and consume them within one day.

3. Seafood
Fish and seafood spoil faster than most foods.

Leaving them overnight increases the risk of food poisoning

Strong odors are a sign of spoilage, but not always reliable

Tip: Eat seafood immediately after cooking or refrigerate and consume it within 24 hours.

4. Leafy Greens and Salads
Salads, especially those with dressing, can wilt and spoil quickly.

Moisture encourages bacterial growth

Nutritional value decreases overnight

Tip: Store undressed greens separately and add dressing only before eating.

5. Dairy-Based Foods
Milk, cream, yogurt, and dishes made with dairy can spoil if left overnight.

Warm temperatures allow bacteria to multiply rapidly

Tip: Refrigerate dairy foods promptly and keep them tightly sealed.
