Well, Bacteria can definitely grow in a refrigerator, even in restaurant quality coolers and more so than the level of heat something is reheated at is a length of time at certain heat that would kill any bacteria that may have settled. One other thing that can help is making sure its not still hot when you pit it in the fridge. Either way I was just trying to be helpful. I am super sensitive to re-heated food too, so I hope you are able to figure it out, or that your animals enjoy it!
