Halal Information
Dunkin’ Donuts is mainly known for its coffee, beverages, and donuts – most of which don’t fall under the category of halal or haram.
Beverages that don’t have alcohol e.g. Coffee are safe for consumption by Muslims.
Similarly, donuts that have no gelatin in their frosting are safe to consume as well.
However, the meat used by Dunkin’ in North America in their breakfast dishes is not from a halal source!
In Muslim countries like Pakistan and UAE, Dunkin’ offers a 100% halal menu, catering to the local demand.
Dunkin’ Donuts Malaysia is also 100% certified halal! According to an official company statement, in Malaysia “All our products are in compliance with halal standards.”
Halal Verdict
So, what’s the halal verdict?
Dunkin’ Donuts is not halal in North America!
However, in Muslim countries like Pakistan and UAE, Dunkin’ offers a 100% halal menu!
Dunkin’ is also certified halal in Malaysia!
Obviously, there are many non-meat items on the Dunkin’s menu that halal observers can consume, such as their
- Beverages – such as their Frozen Coffee and Frozen Chocolate
- Desserts – such as their Donuts
- Some sandwiches – such as Egg and Cheese, Bagels, and
- Snacks such as Hash Browns and Stuffed Bagel Minis.
Halal Caveat
You should always verify the halal status with the restaurant directly just to be sure!
Restaurants change their meat suppliers and their policies constantly.
Furthermore, individual franchise locations change ownership all the time. So one location’s owner can use halal meat but can sell it to a new owner who chooses not to. So, to make sure that you have the latest information — reach out to the establishment!
