Reheating food

Where did 'rope' come from ? Ignore!

Yes, I would freeze and reheat pea and ham soup as long as it was boiled for a while not juste heated.
I don't think I have given anyone food poisoning and hope I never will, the only foodpoisoning has been from prawns in a restaurant (DH) and a mousse type pudding in an overseas hotel (me) when I was trying to avoid fresh fruit salad in case the fruit hadn't been washed.

I am a bit wary of rice - have cooled it very quickly with running cold water and frozen it within minutes and it has been fine, however I would never freeze and reheat it if it's been left to cool down slowly.
Excuse errors can't get back to correct!

I am not sure about tuna though, although I have frozen a fresh cooked salmon pasta dish.

What about rice cooked into dishes? I know the danger of contamination with fresh cooked rice on its own or with just a few extra ingredients stirred in as in rice salad, pilau rice etc , but does it apply to rice pudding, for example? I assume with dishes like that where the rice is bound in with milk and other ingredients the danger from contamination by fungus does not apply.

Anyone that has completed a food hygiene course will know that the problem with cooked ice is a toxin that builds up if it is cooled slowly. This may happen when restaurants/takeaways pre cook large quantities and do not cool it fast enough.
The quantities cooled at home are easily cooled quickly.
Toxins are different from bacteria.

When we were touring Italy a few years ago, panini were the staple fast food item. Everywhere we went, they were on offer, from roadside cafés to filling stations. They were never heated to the point where the ham, prosciutto, pepperoni etc was actually hot. It was always just luke warm. But the Italians didn't seem to be dropping like flies. And neither did we

Ham etc, heated to warm and consumed immediately would not be a problem, it would be if it were kept warm for a period, giving time for bacteria to grow,

There’s never any of my tuna/pasta dinner left!
But if there were, I’d have no problem keeping it to eat up next day, as long as it had gone in the fridge once cooled.

For lunch today I finished some leftover Thai green prawn curry and rice, which I made for dinner on Saturday, had put in the fridge and forgotten about till then. (Had guests and over-catered a bit, as usual)
I’m still alive and well!
