Fear-mongering over hot cross buns

Blood alcohol is dissipated through the lungs and into your breath[1]. Breathalysers test this exhausted alcohol for an accurate reading of blood alcohol level. Certain foods artificially increase readings immediately after consumption. This is why police will wait 15mins after you have had a drink (or eaten certain foods) to ensure residual mouth alcohol has dissipated [2].

You can safely ignore this fear-mongering, and enjoy the next four months of hot cross buns! @Fred123, remember what I said about not believing everything you read and to fact-check before sharing? This community will be a stronger, better place if misinformation isn’t shared so much. Consumers need to know truth to be fully informed. :slight_smile:
