I understand why you’re worried 😟 — based on the photo, do NOT continue eating this food. What are those white things? They strongly look like insect larvae (maggots), most likely fly larvae. Here’s why: They are small, white, rice-shaped Many are uniform in size They are not part of the food (rice grains wouldn’t appear like this on cooked chicken skin) Cooked food left even one day can attract flies if it wasn’t properly covered and refrigerated continued on next pag

Important to know

• Even if the food smells fine and looks okay otherwise, larvae mean contamination

• Cooking yesterday does NOT guarantee safety if:

  • It was left at room temperature

  • It was loosely covered

  • Flies had access at any point

What you should do NOW

 Do not eat it
 Throw the food away immediately
 Wash your hands thoroughly with soap
 Clean the plate and area with hot water + detergent

Health note

Eating food contaminated with larvae or fly eggs can cause:

• Food poisoning

• Stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea

• In rare cases, infection

If you already swallowed some and feel unwell later, see a doctor.
