That having been said (or typed)... Is it not enough
to simply say "Oi!  There's booze in dat!!"?  Provided
we are not violating any civil law by intentionally
serving alcoholic food to minors (?), isn't that where
"our" responsibility ends, and the guests begins?  It
seems to me that most of the guests at a feast
"should" be mentally and emotionally capable of making
their own choices based on the information provided. 
We have warned them of the potential presence of trace
alcohol in our food, and at this point we must leave
the decision to continue (or not) in their hands.  Or
I'm wrong...
