Percentages are the share of the FDA Daily Value for adults and children 4 and over, worked out from Dunkin' published amounts (how % Daily Value works). A dash means Dunkin' does not publish that value for this size.
Using the FDA’s rule of thumb that 5% of the Daily Value or less per serving is low and 20% or more is high, the Small size is high in added sugars (62%) and saturated fat (30%) and is low in protein, potassium and cholesterol. Add it up with other items in the Dunkin' nutrition calculator.
