    The acid released in our stomach is hydrochloric acid (HCl), the same strong acid that is handled in chemistry labs. When food is ingested, HCl is secreted by the parietal cells of the stomach at a very high concentration. It then mixes with enzymes, salts and water in our stomach to form the gastric juice that digests our food.
