Cooked potatoes develop a condition called botulism if they are not stored properly. When potatoes are left for reheating they can harbor bacteria that produce toxins.

Eggs

Chicken

When you reheat the chicken the protein becomes tough and dry. If the chicken is not stored properly it can pose a risk of foodborne illness.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms contain proteins and nutrients that can change when reheated, causing digestive issues.
