Experts caution people to aware while purchasing non alcoholic beverages du
In the United States, a nonalcoholic beverage is one that contains less
than 0.5% alcohol by volume.
However, the umbrella of nonalcoholic beverages is large, encompassing
water and juice products as well as alcohol-free beer and wine.
When purchasing a nonalcoholic beverage, it’s important to be aware that
some products, such as kombucha, are made using fermentation and may still
contain very small amounts of alcohol.
Similarly, some nonalcoholic beers and wines are dealcoholized, meaning
manufacturers make them in the same way as traditional beer and wine and
then remove almost all the ethanol.
Keep in mind that while 0.5% or less and is considered a trace amount of
alcohol, people who wish to avoid alcohol completely may want to select a
beverage that is made without the production of alcohol.
