Ingredient Score:
Rating: (1/5 Green Leaves)
The Dunkin Donuts Hot Signature Latte receives our lowest green leaf rating, indicating significant concerns regarding its ingredients. The latte is not organic, contains GMOs, and is laden with added sugars, including brown sugar, sugar, and fructose. More troubling is the presence of dextrose and corn syrup, which contribute to the high added sugar content.
The product also includes a variety of additives that raise health concerns. Natural flavors, natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, potassium sorbate, and caramel color are among the ingredients that result in deductions from its overall score. Particularly concerning are the known harmful additives such as artificial flavors, caramel color, and carrageenan, which are associated with negative health effects.
Moreover, the inclusion of high fructose corn syrup is a critical factor in the product’s low rating. This sweetener is linked to numerous health issues and is a significant contributor to the negative scoring of this latte.
Our assessment is rigorous, prioritizing cleaner food options for consumers. The Dunkin Donuts Hot Signature Latte does not meet the criteria for a healthier choice due to its non-organic status, GMO ingredients, and array of added sugars and questionable additives. Its composition reflects a product that is far from what we consider a cleaner food option. We recommend avoiding this product and seeking out alternatives that align better with a health-conscious diet.
The latte’s profile is a clear example of the type of offering that our rating system seeks to caution against. For those looking for cleaner and healthier food and beverage choices, the Dunkin Donuts Hot Signature Latte, with its current formulation, does not suffice.
