Many do, but well known ones are citrus fruits, which all contain citric acid. Also vinegar contains acetic acid.

Acids are classified into two groups: Organic and Inorganic.

Organic acids have chemical formulas they contain carbon (C) and [for the most part] oxygen (O). A few foods with organic acids are:

Apples --- Malic acid (C4H6O5)

Oranges --- Ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) and Folic acid (C19H19N7O6)

Grapes --- Tartaric acid (C4H6O5)

Vinegar --- Acetic acid (C2H4O2)

Soured Milk --- Lactic acid (C3H6O3)

Other acids that DO NOT contain carbon. (*Please note, an acid can contain oxygen and still be considered inorganic. As long as it does not contain carbon, it is classified as inorganic.) Some things with inorganic acids:

Stomach acid --- Gastric acid

Consists mainly of Hydrochloric acid (HCl), but also contains some Potassium chloride (KCl) and Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Soft Drinks --- Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)

All. The definition of an organic compound regards molecules that contain the element carbon. Carbon is the element that comprises Earth's life. Thus, what comprises processed and fresh foods are carbohydrates, vitamins, fiber, protein - all organic molecules by definition.

Citrus fruits contain large amounts of acid.

Also, candies such as 'Sour Patch Kids' and the like contain a sour powder that is extremely high in acid.
