As food cools, various microorganisms move in, and some of them can make you pretty sick. Therefore, you have to reheat the food to a temperature that kills the microorganisms. Two or three minutes at 160 degrees is probably the minimum safe time and temperature.

Improper food handling, such as poor temperture control, lack of sanitation, or undercooking of potentially hazardous foods can cause growth of bacteria and microbes. This can cause intestinal distress, fever, and possible death in extreme cases

If food is not cooked properly, not all of the bacteria and microbes will be killed. These can then multiply and give food poisoning.
