Alcohol consumption in pregnancy may result in serious adverse fetal outcome. Non- or low alcoholic wines and beers may be a risk-reduction strategy to help alcohol-dependent individuals to prevent or limit ethanol consumption. The objective of this study was to quantify ethanol concentrations in Canadian beverages claiming to contain no or low alcohol content.
Forty-five different beverages claiming to contain no or low alcohol content in the Canadian market were tested for ethanol concentration using gas chromatography.
Thirteen (29%) of the beverages contained ethanol levels higher than the declared concentration on their label. Six beverages claiming to contain no alcohol were found to contain greater than 1% ethanol.
Pregnant women seeking replacement to alcoholic beverages may be misled by these labels, unknowingly exposing themselves and their unborn babies to ethanol.
孕期饮酒可能导致严重的不良胎儿结局。无酒精或低酒精葡萄酒及啤酒可能是一种降低风险的策略，以帮助酒精依赖者预防或限制乙醇摄入。本研究的目的是量化加拿大市场上宣称无酒精或低酒精含量的饮料中的乙醇浓度。
使用气相色谱法对加拿大市场上45种宣称无酒精或低酒精含量的不同饮料进行乙醇浓度检测。
13种（29%）饮料所含乙醇水平高于其标签上宣称的浓度。6种宣称无酒精的饮料被发现乙醇含量超过1%。
寻求替代酒精饮料的孕妇可能会被这些标签误导，在不知不觉中将自己和未出生的婴儿暴露于乙醇环境中。
