Clorox owns Hidden Valley Ranch brand of salad dressings. They also own Burt's Bees cosmetics. I'm unsure which cat litter they own. They also own Kingsford charcoal.

Source: I'm a retail merchandiser who has done several jobs for Clorox the past several months and I've had to run around the store from one department to another for various audits.

I hope they're not making the salad dressing in the same factory as the one making bleach.

Eh there's plenty of other nasty stuff in food factories, machines are usually cleaned by pumping caustic soda and nitric acid solutions... ammonia cooling systems...

Why do you think Ranch is as white as it is?!

It's marketed as a self-cleaning production facility.
