It is not OK to reheat chili con carne that has not been refrigerated  overnight.

When you let cooked food to cool down at room temperature for over two hours, you create an ideal environment for bacteria to grow and multiply. Therefore, it is important to refrigerate leftovers as soon as possible.

Eating leftovers that have not been properly refrigerated can lead to:

* Food poisoning, characterised by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

* Foodborne illnesses, such as E. coli and Salmonella.
