Tag: Old roti

According to food safety guidelines, perishable food should not be left at room temperature for more than two hours, a rule that applies to leftover roti. While some cultures have traditions of eating 'basi' (stale) roti, a significant difference exists between properly stored leftovers and spoiled food.

According to the Food Authority of NSW, leftover food should be cooled and refrigerated within two hours to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. When considering how many days old roti can you eat, the exact timeframe depends heavily on proper storage, with most experts recommending consumption within a few days when refrigerated.
