Does store bought fully cooked rotesserie chicken need to be reheated to 165 degrees when reheating?
This is actually the recommendation of a lot of mass produced items.
They might have been contaminated after being made, and the producer wants to ensure that you kill anything that might have been introduced.
A cynic would also point out that this shifts liability to the consumer, as if you get sick from it, they can insist that you didn’t follow their ...

Vacuum packed meat has been sealed, but it’s possible that bacteria was sealed in there with it.
If it’s some sort of a cured meat (eg, a cured sausage, dried or salted meats), then it might be okay stored at room temperature, but I’d only consider factory sealed containers for that— not my sealing it at home, where I don’t have the same sanitation practices ...

Each of the parts of your current recipe can be kept for months in a closed container, but once the container has been opened, you run a risk of spoilage.

Cooking Whole Cuts of Pork: USDA has lowered the recommended safe ...

That could be what's known as a meat spot.
When a hen is laying an egg, sometimes pieces are sloughed off on the process down the ovary.
Although this is unusually large for a meat spot, it could be something like a blood clot that was sloughed off during the process.
It is usually safe to eat, but I wouldn't recommend it.

As long as you end your recipe with the correct consistency, no need to keep it in the refrigerator. Always good to keep at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours in order to get a perfect color gradient starting from light yellow to dark at the center. Original Mysore Pak is a little hard compare to Ghee Mysore Pak.
