Can ranch make you sick?

Is it OK to leave ranch out overnight?

I spoke to a ranch dressing manufacturer and their recommendation was that if the dressing was out less than 24 hours, it should be fine. Commercial salad dressings are highly acidified, which would prevent or greatly slow bacterial growth. You may see some change in texture.

What happens if you don't refrigerate ranch after opening?
