Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Coconut Donut falls short of cleaner food standards. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, lowering its standing on our scale. It includes added sugars, which are detrimental to health, and a variety of potentially harmful additives such as artificial flavors and diglycerides. Enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, and potassium sorbate also contribute to the deduction of points due to their potential negative health impacts.
More concerning are the known harmful additives present in this donut. Artificial flavors, propylene glycol, and maltodextrin are ingredients that carry significant health concerns and weigh heavily on the product’s score. Harmful oils, including soybean oil and palm oil, are part of the recipe, which are considered less than ideal for a clean diet. Moreover, the presence of artificial flavor is counted again under high fructose corn syrup, which is associated with various health risks.
The product’s composition reflects a lack of alignment with the pursuit of a healthier, cleaner diet. The use of non-organic, GMO ingredients, and the array of both potentially and known harmful additives, suggests that this donut is not conducive to a health-conscious lifestyle. The inclusion of harmful oils further detracts from its nutritional value.
Given the product’s low green leaf rating, it is clear that it does not meet the criteria for a cleaner food option. Its ingredients list is populated with items that are best avoided for those seeking healthier alternatives in a market saturated with unhealthy choices. The Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Coconut Donut, with its 1/5 green leaves rating, is a product our evaluation suggests consumers should steer clear of in favor of cleaner, more wholesome food selections.
