Does boiled water that has cooled down become stale?

Although you may not be able to perceive the stale taste of boiled water that has cooled down, the truth is that it can become stale.

When boiling water, parasites die, and their remains will exist in the water. According to food technology expert, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh, if the water is left to cool and consumed within 1-2 days, it is safe; however, if the water is left for a long time, it can be contaminated with bacteria and can be dangerous.

“The remains of microorganisms in the water become food for bacteria to enter from the external environment,” Mr. Thinh said. Although hard to perceive, the water at that time has become “stale,” so it should be discarded. The stale water can be recognized through the filmy layer at the bottom and sides of the container.

Therefore, boiled water that has cooled down should only be consumed within a day and should not be left for longer to avoid introducing bacteria that cause gastrointestinal diseases and affect the digestive system and overall health. Before refilling the container, pour out the old water and clean the container to remove bacteria from the previous stale water.

To safely consume boiled water that has cooled down, it should be carefully covered to avoid contamination from the environment.
