    Celiac.com 07/22/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about donuts. Not just donuts, but Dunkin' Donuts. Specifically, is Dunkin' Donuts gluten-free?

    The short answer is no. None of the food products at Dunkin' Donuts are gluten-free at this time. The perpetually popular donut and coffee chain did try to develop some gluten-free products, including a gluten-free Cinnamon Sugar Donut and Blueberry Muffin, but abandoned that effort in 2014. Even their breakfast bowls don't claim to be gluten-free.

    That said, Dunkin' Donuts includes sandwiches, bagels, muffins

    Coffee
    Fresh brewed coffee is always gluten-free, so feel free to get your coffee fix at Dunkin' Donuts, just don't expect to find a gluten-free donuts.

    Donuts
    The donuts at Dunkin' Donuts are not gluten-free.

    Breakfast Bowls
    Dunkin' Donuts does not mention gluten in any way on the labels fo the breakfast bowls. Likely not a safe bet for celiacs.

    Sandwiches
    The sandwiches at Dunkin' Donuts are not gluten-free.

    Bagels
    The bagels at Dunkin' Donuts are not gluten-free.

    Muffins
    The muffins at Dunkin' Donuts are not gluten-free.

    In addition to almost zero gluten-free products, the Dunkin' Donuts includes the following disclaimer on their products that are naturally gluten-free: Please be advised that any of our products may contain, or may have come in contact with, allergens including Eggs, Fish, Milk, Peanuts, Shellfish, Soy, Tree nuts, and Wheat.

    So, if you have celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, skip Dunkin' Donuts if you're wanting more than coffee.

    At least one person has reported that a pre-packaged gluten-free brownie is available in some Dunkin' Donuts locations.

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Celiac.com 02/01/2013 - In my opinion, donuts are right up there with beer and pizza among the beloved foods I missed most after going gluten-free. That said, there has been strong progress on developing delicious gluten-free beers, and gluten-free pizza is one of the hottest, fastest growing trends among pizza retailers. So, there is some relief on those two fronts. However, the delightful donut is one food I expected never to enjoy again, after going gluten-free.
    So, imagine my surprise and delight to learn that Dunkin' Donuts is testing gluten-free donuts at limited locations in southern Florida and the Boston area.

We are continuing to develop additional gluten-free products for future tests, and we remain committed to exploring ways to offer our guests gluten-free choices."

    Dunkin Ditches Gluten-free Donuts
    Celiac.com 02/10/2014 - Dunkin' Donuts is quietly ditching its much publicized, much anticipated campaign to introduce gluten-free donuts across the nation.
    Information is scant, as Dunkin' has not issued any official press release. Dunkin' Donuts did, however, release the following statement to Gluten-Free Living:
    "In 2013, we tested a gluten-free Cinnamon Sugar Donut and Blueberry Muffin in select markets.

    Are Dunkin’ Donuts Breakfast Bowls Gluten-Free and Safe for People with Celiac Disease?
    Celiac.com 05/08/2019 - As Dunkin' looks to rebrand itself as a destination for more than just donuts, it has begun to offer breakfast foods, like the Power Breakfast Sandwich that launched earlier this year. Starting today at participating restaurants nationwide, Dunkin' is offering two new breakfast bowls, the Egg White Bowl and the Sausage Scramble Bowl. 
    And one question we've seen a lot, one thing many gluten-free eaters want to know is: Are Dunkin' Donuts Breakfast Bowls gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?
    First, let's take a quick look at the products and their ingredients. The Egg White Bowl is made with egg whites, spinach, roasted potatoes, cheddar cheese and caramelized onions and delivers 14 grams of lean protein and 250 calories.
