High Risk

Dunkin Donuts has been inspected three times since 2023. On Mar 18, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

The pattern that stands out is “time/temperature control for safety food cold held”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Jacksonville restaurant, which scores around 74. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
