Answer 3

Uhhhh...Two Year Old Rice...gross. You might get a stomach ache, in which case...curl up into a little ball and take TUMS...=]]

Answer 4

With all food (no exceptions) bacteria, harmless or lethal begins to grow 45 seconds after its tempature falls below 160 degree farenheit.

I would not ever recommend eating anything that is not in a very tightly sealed container after 3 hours.

And nothing at all after 3 months.

Meat is something that takes extra special precaution, do not eat cooked meat that is older than one week old and never cook meat that is more than 2-4 days past its experation date.

also look for color or smell irregularities in your food this can show a sign of bacterial growth.

Best of luck stay healthy.

Answer 5

no. don't eat it. gross

Answer 6

o_O

A year?

Well it should be fine, until you see green fuzzies on it.

Answer 7

Please don't eat that rice! Rice actually goes bad within 3 months. It starts to grow little microscopic bugs and it can have them at the time the rice is purchased at the store if it has been on the shelf too long. Make sure you always check dates and don't keep it too long any where in the house. Rice is cheap, so to be safe always buy as fresh as you can when you need it.

Answer 8

idk

Answer 9

Rice has a long shelf life. Since you kept it in the fridge, it is probably fine! Even cooked rice seems to last longer than most foods! ...but not two years!

Answer 10

No, your rice is old.

Answer 11

If you don't know how old your food is, I recommend cleaning it weekly or labeling containers. You could get really sick.

Answer 12

Don't eat the rice it's defently bad.

Info:  Rice, after its cooked stays fresh up to a week in the fridge.:)  Any longer then that, it's not fresh.

Answer 13

Of course it is. Even five year old rice is fine refrigerated or not, does not matter. So go ahead eat all you like. If you feel uncomfortable about this when friends or family come over simply do not tell them in case you serve some to them. It is like rehydration add boiling water let stand and serve. taste great. enjoy.

PS/ Should it be a different colour such as greenish grey just add a little peroxide to help whiten again.

Answer 14

Probably not, you're going to be up allllll night s**+tting because you have food poisoning.

Answer 15

Your rice is going to KILL you....!

Answer 16

If you're saying the rice has been in your fridge cooked for a long time, then toss it.

If it's been uncooked, then it's fine.

Answer 17

It would only "go bad" if it was exposed to water while it was in the fridge.

Answer 18

Oh my  a year or two..... no no no  dont eat it.... throw it out..

Answer 19

its ok for a couple a days not a couple years..

Answer 20

uncooked rice should be fine.  if you cooked some and it tasted fine, then there's your answer.  It couldn't make you sick or anything if that's what you're askin'!
