Rice Food Poisoning

Rice Food Poisoning

Rice is a common cause of food poisoning. Uncooked rice can contain the food poisoning bacteria Bacillus cereus. The bacteria survive even after the rice is cooked, and mishandling can lead to toxin production. Onset of symptoms can be as soon as an hour after and include vomiting and diarrhea.

Q
I got an al pastor bowl with white rice, black beans, veggies, sour cream, salsa and guac at 1pm. I woke up at 6am the next day with diarrhea and nausea for 6 hours. I’ve eaten chipotle with this order over 50 times and it was the only thing I ate that day.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps
