Another notable application is in the production of vinegar. While culinary vinegar is typically a diluted solution of acetic acid, glacial acetic acid serves as a starting point for creating vinegar products due to its concentrated form. Its role in food preservation and flavor enhancement is well recognized.

Additionally, glacial acetic acid is a flammable substance. It has a flash point of approximately 39 °C (102 °F), which means that it can ignite easily when exposed to heat, sparks, or open flames. In the event of a fire, it can produce hazardous fumes, including acetic anhydride and carbon monoxide, which pose further risks to health and safety. To minimize the risk of fire, it is important to store glacial acetic acid in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition. Appropriate fire extinguishing agents, such as dry chemical or foam extinguishers, should be easily accessible in case of an emergency.
