Donut Glaze

Sugar, Water, Maltodextrin, Corn Starch, Mono and Diglycerides, Citric Acid, Agar, Cellulose Gum, Potassium Sorbate (preservative), Artificial Flavor

Potassium sorbate is an inorganic salt manufactured from sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide. It inhibits the growth of molds and yeast, which in turn helps to increase the shelf life of packaged foods.

This additive is used in Dunkin’s glaze topping. It’s also commonly used in the production of cheese, pickles, juices, and wine, among other processed foods.

Konjac flour is derived from the Konjac plant, which is native to parts of Asia.

According to recent studies, konjac can help improve skin health and, because of the high content of soluble fiber, help contribute to weight loss.
