Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Dunkin Donuts Bavarian Kreme Donut is a food product that our review process identifies as a poor choice for those seeking cleaner food options. The donut is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which already places it at a disadvantage in our scoring system.
The ingredient list reveals the presence of multiple types of added sugars, including sugar, dextrose, sucrose, and corn syrup, contributing to its low rating. The inclusion of potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, and xanthan gum further detracts from its score. More concerning is the use of known harmful additives like artificial flavors, carrageenan, and sodium benzoate.
Additionally, the donut contains oils that our review process deems harmful, specifically soybean oil and palm oil. The use of artificial flavor, commonly associated with high fructose corn syrup, is another critical factor in the negative assessment of this product.
The Dunkin Donuts Bavarian Kreme Donut, therefore, receives the lowest possible score on our scale. It is a product that falls significantly short of the standards we promote for cleaner, healthier food options. The extensive list of non-organic, GMO, and additive-laden ingredients, along with harmful sugars and oils, underpins our advice to avoid this product. Consumers looking for nutritious and clean alternatives would be well-advised to consider other options that better align with a diet focused on health and wellness.
