Low Risk

Dunkin Donuts has been inspected six times since 2015. Dunkin Donuts was last inspected on Oct 4, 2017. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Note that Dunkin Donuts's inspection history hasn't been updated since Oct 4, 2017; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around one violation, down from roughly four violations earlier in the record.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “food protected during storage”, showing up three times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
