Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Dunkin Donuts Glazed Strawberry Donut falls significantly short of the cleaner food options recommended on our website. This product is not organic, nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, which immediately impacts its rating negatively. The presence of added sugars, including sugar, citric acid, and fructose, further detracts from its score. More concerning is the inclusion of dextrose and corn syrup, which are considered more harmful types of added sugars.

The list of ingredients reveals a range of potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, and sodium citrate. Even more disconcerting are known harmful additives like artificial flavor, carrageenan, sodium benzoate, and maltodextrin. Additionally, the use of harmful oils, specifically soybean and palm oil, raises further health concerns.

A significant deduction in this product’s score is due to the high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient linked to numerous health issues. The combination of these factors results in a product that does not align with the healthier, cleaner food options that our website advocates for.

The Dunkin Donuts Glazed Strawberry Donut contains a complex array of ingredients that, upon close examination, do not meet the standards for a clean and healthy food choice. With its low green leaf rating, this product is one that consumers looking for healthier alternatives should avoid. The abundance of additives, sugars, and harmful oils makes it clear that this donut does not support a diet focused on health and wellness.
