Direct guidance
What to know or do
Reheat cooked leftovers until hot throughout and do not rely on smell alone to judge whether food was stored safely.
What changes the answer
- Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
- How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
- The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
