Citric Acid is no longer commonly offered by grocery stores, only specialty food stores and bakeries. Food grade citric acid is sold online in small and large quantities.

Sold in powder, crystal or liquid form, it is sometimes available in health food stores or stores that sell wine-making supplies.
