It is ok to reheat food. Not sure where you got the idea that it’s not.

It’s not ok to reheat food which has spoiled due to bacteria. This is because even though reheating it correctly will kill the bacteria it won’t get rid of the toxins the bacteria have produced. These toxins are still harmful if you eat the spoiled food.
