Total Fat and Sugars

One Boston Kreme donut has 11 grams of total fat, including 4.5 grams saturated fat.

Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the Department of Health and Human Services, recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to no more than 10% of total calories.

Saturated Fat

Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature. According to the FDA, the human body naturally makes the saturated fat it needs. Accordingly, there is no need to get the nutrient from foods.

There are approximately 40 calories from saturated fat in each donut. That’s 15% of the total 270 calories per serving.

Moreover, the amount of saturated fat in this doughnut is 23% of the recommended limit of saturated fat for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet), which is considered high.

Added Sugars

Total carbs include 17 grams of added sugars.

  • Bavarian Kreme filling includes corn syrup and sugar
  • Sugar is the first ingredient in the chocolate icing

According to the FDA, “added sugars are a nutrient to get less of.” The primary reason is because added sugars contribute calories without providing essential nutrients, fiber, or vitamins.

As such, added sugars are sometimes referred to as “empty calories.”

One Boston Kreme donut has 70 calories from added sugars (about one quarter of the total 270 calories).

Potassium sorbate is an inorganic, odorless salt that is manufactured from sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide. In food production, the chemical additive is primarily used as a preservative.

The additive inhibits the growth of molds, yeast, and fungi, which in turn increases the shelf life of processed foods.

Potassium sorbate is commonly used in packaged juices, cheese, pickles, and wine, among many other food items as well as pet food products.
