Are any of Dunkin Donuts' donuts vegan?!
I would really like a donut and DD is the closest to me!. Are any of them vegan!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It looks like all their doughnuts include eggs and some, if not all, contain milk!.
The Dunkin Donuts ingredient info is down on their website right at the moment, so I can't double check the ingredients lists for all of them, but I did a search of other sites and the general consensus seems to be that there aren't any vegan doughnuts on the menu!. Apparently, the L-Cysteine used in the bagels is derived from duck feathers as well, so they aren't vegan, either!.
Some people seem to have received emails back from DD stating that they don't have any vegan doughnuts on their menu at the moment, but I don't know how recently those emails were received and posted online!.
EDITED TO ADD: There are synethic forms of L-Cysteine on the market, but they're not commonly used!. As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as plant-based L-Cysteine!.
When I did a search for the origin of the L-Cysteine in Dunkin Donuts products, I came across several instances where people have heard directly from DD themselves that duck feathers are the source!. For example:
"L-cysteine: In January 2007, Dunkin' Donuts informed us by telephone that the source of the dough conditioner, L-cysteine, in many of their menu items including the bagels and many donuts, was "avian feathers!." (Source: http://www!.vrg!.org/vrgnews/2007aug!.htm)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know you have a lot of responses !.!. So You know that there is Nothing at Dunkin Donuts that is Vegan except Black Coffee!.!.
also someone there gave you BAD Information !. L-Cysteine is Never plant based !. It is a Protein source and only comes from Human Hair ( yes they use this) , birds feathers , and pig bristles !.
It is only used to make something look as though it has a higher protein count , so when someone reads the ingredients they think it has more protein
How about making Cinnamon toast at home !? with Vegan Sugar on top !?
