Total Fat
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.
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 about 70 calories from added sugars (about one quarter of the total 270 calories).

What is Potassium Sorbate?
Potassium Sorbate – used in the Chocolate Icing – is an inorganic, chemical additive used to preserve foods. It’s an odorless salt that is manufactured from sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide.
The purpose of using potassium sorbate is to inhibit the growth of molds, yeast, and fungi, which in turn helps to increase the shelf life of processed foods.
This additive is used in the production of juices, cheese, pickles, ice cream, wine, and yogurt, as well as many other food items. You will also find potassium sorbate in pet food.
Allergens
Dunkin’s Bavarian Kreme filled donut is made with egg, milk, soy, and wheat.
