Two questions:

If a belila raqa is baked, wouldn't it still be pas haba b'kisnin? If
you need to check the label to determine something or other, then you're
admitting that this product does have tzuras hapas, aren't you?

The ingredient label can be very helpful in determining whether the
liquids are mostly water (pas gamur) or mostly mei peiros (pas haba
b'kisnin). But how would the label tell you whether it is belila avah
or raqa?
