I've had countless takeaways and have saved leftovers many times for the next day. I am pretty sure that I've never had a case of food poisoning as a result. Not saying it can't happen, of course, but you could eat a piping hot plate of food at any restaurant and still come away with food poisoning, certainly not a huge thing to worry about.

Re: Culturally switched sides
After one has passed the port, can one safely take it home?

Raw rice may contain spores of bacteria called Bacillus cereus. These spores form to protect the bacteria from heat and other outside influences, and they aren’t easily destroyed - even by cooking. Even though Bacillus cereus spores aren’t readily eliminated by cooking, eating rice is unlikely to cause food poisoning if the rice is kept hot before serving - and not allowed to sit around on a counter at room temperature. If this happens, the spores can germinate into active bacteria. For this reason, rice should always be served immediately after it’s prepared.
