The thing to always consider is the probability of the risk.
You’re technically not supposed to reheat rice because the toxins produced by bacteria that feed on rice aren’t destroyed by the temperatures you achieve though reheating.
But the risk is really quite low, to the extent that someone could reheat rice frequently throughout their life and never get sick.
This is true for a lot of food safety issues. Or really safety issues in general. For an individual the risk is pretty low, but for a place like a restaurant it’s much higher due to volume.
I also have doubts that simply rinsing produce with water is a truly effective method of removing bacteria. If you think about it, would you consider only rinsing off your hands with water after taking a shit be sufficient?
In all of the restaurants I’ve worked in we had to use a specific washing solution for cleaning produce.
