Citric Acid (Food Grade)

Citric acid is found naturally in citrus fruits, especially lemons and limes. It’s what gives them their tart, sour taste.

Citric Acid is commonly used as an additive in food, and cleaning agents.

Citric Acid is also used as a household cleaner and degreaser and descaler, and works great on most surfaces and even hard to clean areas.
