Can you take ranch dressing and barbecue sauce?

Ranch dressing and barbecue sauce can both contain bacteria that can grow during storage. Ranch dressing contains raw eggs, which may contain bacteria like Salmonella, and barbecue sauce often contains tomato paste, which may attract mold and bacteria.

Therefore, they should not be left out at room temperature for more than two hours. If they are left out longer, they may become unsafe to consume. To ensure food safety, it is important to store both ranch dressing and barbecue sauce in the refrigerator if they are not being consumed immediately.
