Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Dunkin Donuts Coconut Donut falls at the lowest end of our clean food spectrum. This product is not organic and features non-GMO ingredients, both of which are significant factors in its rating. The donut contains added sugars, including sugar and citric acid, which contribute to its low score.
The ingredient list reveals several potentially harmful additives, such as natural and artificial flavors, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, and potassium sorbate. These substances are often scrutinized for their health impacts. More concerning are the known harmful additives present in the donut, including artificial flavor, carrageenan, propylene glycol, and maltodextrin. These ingredients have been linked to various health issues and are best avoided in a clean diet.
Furthermore, the product includes oils that are considered harmful, specifically soybean oil and palm oil. These oils have been associated with environmental and health concerns. The presence of high fructose corn syrup, indicated by the artificial flavor, further diminishes the product’s standing on our scale.
The Dunkin Donuts Coconut Donut exemplifies a food item laden with ingredients that are not aligned with cleaner eating practices. Its composition of non-organic and GMO elements, added sugars, and a range of controversial additives and oils justifies its low score. This donut represents the type of food product our website advises consumers to avoid in pursuit of healthier, cleaner dietary choices.
Although the market is inundated with similar offerings, our goal is to steer consumers toward options that promote well-being and environmental sustainability. The Dunkin Donuts Coconut Donut does not meet these criteria, and as such, earns the minimum recommendation of 1/5 green leaves.
