Estimates of Ethanol Exposure in Children from Food not Labeled as Alcohol-Containing
They find that:
… orange, apple and grape juice contain substantial amounts of ethanol (up to 0.77 g/L).
… certain packed bakery products such as burger rolls or sweet milk rolls contained more than 1.2 g ethanol [per] 100 g.
… We designed a scenario for average ethanol exposure by a 6-year-old child. … An average daily exposure of 10.3 mg ethanol [per] kg body weight (b.w.) was estimated.
This is estimated ethanol exposure just from eating and drinking regular non-alcoholic food and beverages. A dose of 10mg/kg of ethanol is hundreds of milligrams total, per day—more than an order of magnitude higher than the highest estimate discussed here for the bacteria.
(I will note that I had difficulty verifying any of this; there are lots of news stories on this topic, but they are all fairly fluffy, and link back to the same single study.)
This paper seems like an interesting counterpoint: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5421578/
