Going back to 2025, Dunkin' Donuts has three inspections in the public record. Dunkin' Donuts was last inspected on Apr 20, 2026. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

Looking across the full record, “certification by accredited program” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Philadelphia restaurants. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
