It came to my knowledge from an email alert I subscribed to called Gilah CeliAct, that Dunkin has decided to shut down their plans to make their selected gluten free products go nationwide. If you didn't know, last year, Dunkin launched a gluten free cinnamon donut and a blueberry muffin in select stores/ cities. They were going to then launch them to all the Dunkin donuts by the end of 2013 but they've decided to pull the plug for whatever reason. Although I am not a donut eater, this is still an outrage! Just when you think we succeeded down a good path for us, our hopes are let down.
What made them stop? It's a lot of work to make gluten free products, especially when they took precautions to make sure they are free from cross contamination by making them in a different facility. I know it may be costly, but I read they were really thriving in business in the selected cities of choice. Supposedly they are continuing to test other items to the gluten free community in the future.
So what changed their minds? What do you think? Has this put a damper on your gluten free dreams?
