Medium Risk

Inspectors have visited Dunkin Donuts five times, with records going back to 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 12, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around one violation to closer to four violations.

The pattern that stands out is “no soap provided at handwash sink”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to other Winter Haven restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
