At what alcohol percentage is a volume of alcoholic seasoning/condiment considered haram?

This question is more specifically aimed at condiments that may have small percentages of alcohol (<1% alcohol) such as soy sauce and some types of mirin.

An example of mirin STYLE seasoning that contains less than 1% alcohol

If you don't know what mirin is, it is a sweet alcoholic condiment. Normally, it would almost certainly be haram due to its potential to intoxicate and the fact that it is essentially rice wine.

The above link, however, is something of a synthetic seasoning that replicates mirin. This would be excellent for use though there is a potential problem: It still has less than 1% alcohol.

I do know that there are so many foods and drinks that actually contain an extremely small amount of alcohol as it would be nearly impossible to completely stop all fermentation from happening.

So my question is: Would the above example be permissible to use in cooking AND what volume of alcohol is considered impermissible?

Of course, do try to provide evidence to back up your answer.

EDIT: This sort of condiment is almost always cooked with so I suspect the alcohol present would most likely be cooked off.
