One for you chemists!
I know you shouldn't mix chlorine with citric acid. Food processing plants do mix the two chemicals with water ( for example during food washing ).
If mixed with water what are the safe proportions / concentrations? Does the water stop the two chemicals mixing and producing any hazardous by products?
Help please gang!

I think you need to go back and find out exactly what is going on here, as we cannot answer on the basis of what you have given us.

We need more information such as the concentration of the acids and the form that the chlorine is in. Note that citric acid is a weak acid :one that does not complexly dissociate in solution unlike for example hydrochloric acid and so in the way it reacts is different from such an acid. The solution may also contain buffering properties which make it more complicated still. So more information please!
