If hydrochloric acid were not present in your stomach, you could not digest raw meat. This information was told to me by my family physician.
The stomach secretes HCL to partially digest the food and to kill any bacteria present in the food.

In solution with a pH of 1 [H+] is 0.1M. Since HCl is a strong acid [HCl] will also be 0.1M. So, in 1 liter of solution you will have 0.1 mol of HCl.
HCl lowers the pH in the stomach and provides the acidic conditions for the digestive enzymes in the stomach to work effectively.
HCl means hydrochloric acid, which is a key component of stomach juices.
