What is the reason for some ready meals stating that you should not reheat,and would you ignore!!

Had 9 friends round for dinner last night. Ended up a bit stressed during the week with work and kids so ordered Waitrose entertaining beef sroganoff and their galricky potatoe stuff, and I made my own roasted veg, god hard that was hard .

Anyway, quite a lot left, although it was lovely, it is in the fridge and the notes say do not reheat. Would you ignore.

don't know about the meat...veggie myself.. but the other stuff .. I always do it. As long as it gets to a decent temp I think it's 60/70 degrees for food safety (could be wrong) I'm good with that.
The beef...dunno

It's because bacteria multiply in the time when it's heating up or cooling down. So if you've heated it up once, then cooled it down, then heated it up that's extra time for bacteria to get active.

Saying that, I personally would if it was just me. Just make sure you get it piping hot. Was it nice then?

Sorry, that should say, 'bacteria multiply MOST in the time...'

Didn't realise I had two threads going . Thanks for replies but as I said in my other thread I bottled out and threw it away. Wish I hadn't now!
