Does salad dressing need to be refrigerated?

Answer 1

Yes, you must refridgorate it....I learned my lesson with that! I left it out and it went bad quickly. You should always keep those kind of things in a fridge! Even put Ketchup in the fridge, trust me I've done a lot of wrong things with codoments!!!

Well, I have worked at Mcdonalds for approximately five years and none of our pre-packaged sauces are refrigerated. They typically have an expiration date of about three months. Therefore I would say as long as you don't keep it past the expiration date it should be safe to eat without refrigeration.

Most sauces do not have to be refrigerated. It is recommended only for the fact that the sauce separates. However, according to DHEC in SC all you have to do is shake them and use them. Just do not use past the expiration date.

Answer 2

Yes. After a few hours at room temperature, it can become rancid.

Real mayonnaise, made with eggs, can become toxic after a few hours because eggs can easily be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. So be sure to make the potato salad for the picnic the morning of the event rather than the week before.
