Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Dunkin Donuts Cinnamon Stick falls significantly short of the cleaner food options criteria set by our website. It is not an organic product, which negatively impacts its score, and it contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients. Additionally, the presence of added sugars, particularly in the form of sugar and dextrose, detracts from its healthfulness.
The ingredient list reveals the use of potentially harmful additives like natural and artificial flavors, enriched wheat flour, and soy lecithin, which further diminishes the product’s standing. More concerning are the known harmful additives it contains, such as artificial flavors and carrageenan, which are best avoided in search of a cleaner diet.
Harmful oils, specifically soybean oil and palm oil, are also present in the Cinnamon Stick, contributing to its low rating. The mention of high fructose corn syrup under artificial flavors, despite not being explicitly listed in the ingredients, is another red flag for health-conscious consumers.
This product, with its array of non-organic, GMO, and additive-laden ingredients, receives the lowest possible score on our scale. It is clear that the Dunkin Donuts Cinnamon Stick does not meet the standards for those seeking healthier, cleaner food options. It stands as a product to avoid for those looking to minimize their intake of additives, GMOs, and non-organic ingredients in their diet. With the health and well-being of consumers in mind, options that prioritize natural, organic, and minimally processed ingredients are recommended over the Dunkin Donuts Cinnamon Stick.
