Is it illegal for minors to eat food prepared with alcohol?

It is generally not illegal for minors to eat food prepared with alcohol. Most countries have laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to minors, but food prepared with alcohol does not typically contain enough alcohol to cause intoxication. For example, in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established a limit of 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) for non-alcoholic beverages, and most foods prepared with alcohol fall well below this limit. Even foods that are intentionally spiked with alcohol, such as "drunken" desserts, typically have a low alcohol content.

However, there are some exceptions to this general rule. Some countries, such as India and Malaysia, have laws that specifically prohibit the sale or consumption of food containing alcohol to minors. In the United States, some states and localities have laws that restrict or prohibit minors from eating food prepared with alcohol. For example, in California, it is illegal for minors to eat food that contains more than 0.5% ABV.
