Score
Dunkin Donuts appears in inspection records seven times, starting in 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Sep 17, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately and about eight violations before that.
The pattern that stands out is “no proof provided that food employees are informed”, which has been cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Sebring restaurant, which scores around 74. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
