    There’s a difference between non-alcoholic (or alcohol-free) and 0.0% alcohol (like it appears in the poster). The former allows for up to 0.5% ABV, while the latter means absolutely no alcohol whatsoever.

    Still I don’t think it’s a good idea to get children used to the idea of drinking alcoholic beverages.

      They say “contains less than 0.5%” because that’s the cutoff that makes something legally beer. It more than likely has none, much of the time. That’s just the law (US):

      > 0.5% it’s beer

      < 0.5% it’s not beer

      So they label it as <0.5% simply to show that it’s in the latter category.
