Origin of the Name "Fried Rice Syndrome" Dr Jinda Rojanamatin, Director of Rajavithi Hospital, explained that "Fried Rice Syndrome" refers to a type of food poisoning caused by consuming improperly stored cooked food. This typically involves foods left outside the refrigerator, allowing the bacterium Bacillus cereus to grow. Starchy foods like rice and pasta, particularly fried rice dishes, are especially prone to contamination by this bacterium. Due to these risks, the condition has been named "Fried Rice Syndrome." Factors contributing to the issue include inadequate cooking (such as uneven heating), poor hygiene during ingredient preparation, and improper storage after cooking. Dr Poj Intarapaporn, Head of Infectious Diseases at Rajavithi Hospital, elaborated that Bacillus cereus bacteria produce two types of toxins: Diarrheal Toxin Those infected will experience diarrhoea, nausea, stomach pain, and watery diarrhoea 8 to 16 hours after consumption, primarily affecting the lower small intestine. Emetic Toxin The symptoms of poisoning are severe and sudden. Those infected will experience nausea and vomiting within 1 to 6 hours after consumption, primarily affecting the upper small intestine. However, this type of infection is not contagious.
