I was wondering if Spritvinäger is halal to consume? it’s an acid that I found in the ingredients of Mayonnaise. How should one think of the amount of alcohol or cider in food? I know a small amount is okay but I don’t know how much the amount must be.

I do not know what exactly Spritvinäger is. I searched online but couldn’t get something clear. If it’s vinegar then it’s halal. But if it’s a type of wine then it’s haram, even if it’s a small amount. If it’s not wine but it’s artificial alcohol (like the type found in cologne), then if the entire concentration is is less than 2% it’s halal to consume according to Sayed Sistani.
