What is the difference between 0.0% and 0.5%?

In the UK, any beer under 0.5% ABV is legally classified as alcohol-free. However, 0.5% does contain trace amounts of alcohol — comparable to some fruit juices and bread. For most people this is irrelevant, but for those who need absolute zero alcohol, 0.0% is the right choice.
