Salaam...question about ethyl alcohol

Question

Certain glazed donuts have ethyl alcohol in the sugars, the same alcohol found in fruits and vegetables. Once these donuts are cooked the ethyl alcohol content is .02%. Are these donuts halal? Also, please provide a dua for happiness. JazakhAllah Khair.

Answer

In principle, if any alcohol is not from grape or date extract, it is permissible, if it does not intoxicate. Hence the donuts containing ethyl Alcohol will be halaal.
