Glacial Acetic Acid
XLW
Acetic acid is a versatile chemical widely used in the food industry as a sauce, seasoning, and food additive. In food processing, the use of high-purity, food-grade acetic acid is essential. This article highlights a professional manufacturer that produces food-grade acetic acid with a purity exceeding 99.8%.
Renowned for its exceptional quality and reliability, this manufacturer ensures that its food-grade acetic acid meets the highest industry standards through strict quality control. With a purity of over 99.8%, the product is well-suited for a variety of food processing and production applications. It contains no harmful substances and has undergone rigorous testing to guarantee safety.



High Purity ≥99.8%: Complies with international food safety standards such as the U.S. FDA, EU E260, and China’s GB 2760. With extremely low impurity levels, it is safe and reliable.
Comprehensive International Certifications: CNS No. 01.107, INS No. 260, and recognized as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), making it eligible for global export.
Strict Quality Control: A Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) are provided for each batch; third-party test reports from SGS, BV, Intertek, and others are available upon request.
Flexible Packaging: Available in 35 kg plastic drums, 220 kg steel drums, and 1,200 kg IBC containers; custom labeling is supported.
Quick Response: We respond to inquiries within 12 hours and partner with carriers such as DHL, FedEx, TNT, and EMS to ensure efficient logistics.
Q1: What is the difference between food-grade acetic acid and industrial-grade acetic acid?
A: Food-grade acetic acid must meet stricter impurity control standards (free of heavy metals, formic acid, and other harmful substances) and comply with regulations such as FDA, E260, and GB 2760, making it safe for food use. Industrial-grade acetic acid has more lenient impurity requirements and must not be used in food.
Q2: How is 99.8% acetic acid used? How should it be diluted?
A: Dilute as needed:
Table vinegar: Dilute to 3–9%
Pickling: 2–5%
Seasoning sauces: 0.5–2%
Meat preservation: 0.1–0.5%
Equipment cleaning: 1–5%
⚠️ Safety precautions: Always add acid to water (slowly add acid to water while stirring); never add water to acid. Wear protective gloves and goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area.
Q3: What are the storage conditions for acetic acid?
A:
Temperature ≤30°C; in winter, >16°C (below 16°C it will solidify into an ice-like solid)
Keep sealed, away from light, and away from heat sources (flash point approx. 40°C)
Store separately from oxidizers, alkalis, and reactive metals
Use polyethylene, glass, or stainless steel containers
Q4: What is the maximum permitted level of acetic acid in meat products?
A: According to GB 2760: ≤0.6% in meat products; ≤3.0% in meat marinades/sauces; ≤0.25% in baked goods; ≤0.8% in cheese; ≤9.0% in condiments.
Q5: Can you provide third-party test reports?
A: We can provide test reports from SGS, BV, Intertek, CIQ, etc., along with a COA and SDS shipped with the goods.
Q6: How should solidified acetic acid be handled?
A: Place the container in a water bath at ≤40°C to slowly melt it; never heat it over an open flame. Quality is not affected by solidification. In cold regions, we recommend maintaining a storage temperature >16°C or purchasing a diluted product.
