Dunkin' Donuts Testing Gluten-Free, Celiac-Safe Donuts

I would love to have gluten-free donuts in a major retailer like this. I just want to point out to everybody a flaw in the article though. Most places right now advertising "Gluten Free Pizza" only have gluten-free crust-- the sauce, cheese, and toppings all have gluten in or on them. Be sure to ask and double check before ordering!

Finally the gluten-free trend is catching on. A lot of restaurants are now showing gluten-free selections on their menus.

Like Rick said, donuts and sweet goodies are not a priority, but it is nice to know they are there if we want them.

What I find is that if it is gluten-free, then it is very pricey compared to foods with gluten and that makes it really hard for celiacs to stay on budgets and enjoy the foods we crave.

A while back, there were articles that Subway was testing gluten-free Breads for their sandwiches. Never did hear anything more about that. I hope more and more food entities get with gluten-free products and at reasonable prices.

That's fantastic! It's a great option, treat, to stop and have a donut and coffee with my daughter rather than avoiding the store because there are no options for celiac individuals! Looking forward to gluten-free donuts coming to Northeast Ohio!

I was just driving past a D&D the other day thinking how much I miss their donuts. I'm a celiac and while I have found an abundance of 'treats' to keep my sweet tooth happy, I will say I very much miss Dunkin Donuts. This is exciting and I hope to see more 'chain' food stores adding gluten-free options. As someone else mentioned, popping in for something quick while on the go like before being diagnosed would be huge. And I don't eat a lot of fast food, but sometimes it's a convenience. Go D&D!

Great... but do you know where in Florida?

Look forward to the doughnuts coming across the water to the UK.

I don't have celiac disease, but the rest of the family does. I would love to take the whole family for coffee and donuts! I can't wait for them to come to Arizona.

This sounds great. The only problem, as mentioned by others, is that this is another food probably high in sugar and carbs. A lot of gluten-free things being made and advertised are not really all that healthy. If one eats in moderation though, it might not be too bad. Another worry, just how much more is a donut going to cost there since guten-free is almost always overpriced with a smaller amount?

Bring it on, Dunkin! My 10 year old is constantly watching as classmates enjoy their DD favorites. It will be great to see him enjoy a donut again just like the other kids!

Yes, it is good to check these things, but I don't think it is common practice to add gluten-containing ingredients to tomato sauce or cheese (both of which are naturally gluten-free).

Lima, Ohio would love a Dunkin' Donuts, and please include gluten-free!! This would be so awesome.

Rick: They may not be the healthiest option, but as you said people need something quick to eat when they're running around. And if you don't make a habit of it, then it's fine to have a donut. Sure, I'd like to have more healthful quick eat options, but even non-celiac non-gluten sensitive people don't have many of those options available.

We don't even have a Dunkin' Donuts on Maui, but if we did I'd eat this donut!
