here is official OU policy By: Rabbi Yaakov Luban
The OU does not authorize the production or marketing of Mezonos rolls and Mezonos pita by caterers, restaurants, and bakeries. This decision is based on two considerations:
a. A true mezonos roll must have a taste and texture which is significantly different from bread and very similar to cake. Most so-called mezonos rolls do not meet this criteria. The presence of a fruit juice, even when it is the majority of the liquid content, does not automatically render the roll mezonos.
b. Mezonos rolls are generally eaten as part of a meal.. Even if they are true mezonos rolls, when eaten as part of a meal, the bracha may change to Hamotzi.

My friend who spent a lot of time in Toronto told me that in all of Toronto there is only one bakery that sells mezonos rolls and they use so much apple juice you don’t know whether you are eating rolls or apples. The COR airline meals gave a sticker on the rolls advising the counselor either to wash or “enjoy it later”
