Don't people know that Krispy Kreme uses trans fats? Why do people pay a profit making business to feed them pure poison? I think there's no amount of it that is not toxic. this thread would be super helpful if people would contact each business and find out exactly what kind of fat they use and report back. Probably most of it's gonna be unhealthy. but they can be made healthier and that's what people should ask for. even using pure pork lard or non-partially hydrogenated seed oil would be much healthier, which ain't saying much but won't end your life as quickly as trans fats.. But definitely beef fats, Avocado, palm oils would be so much better. Don't support a business that is spreading disease! Happy donut day!

Thanks, you made my decision so much easier for donut day.

Krispy Kreme it is!

I just checked their nutritional info for the classic glazed donut. The current info shows zero trans fats.

The FDA allows these companies to put zero if it is under 0.5 grams.

Last time, my local Krispy Kreme didn't have any signs up that everyone picking up orders still had to line up in the regular line. Wasted half hours in pickup line till I got to them, and for some reason, the manager decided to tell us to line up when I get to the front. Waited another half hour till I was almost to the front again and they told us they're sold out and they need to push out orders for deliveries and drive through. They sent all of us away and told us to come back in 2 hours. Absolutely trash management at my local Krispy Kreme.

Why did you not go through the drive thru to pick up? Where I am at, everyone goes to the drive thru. Higher priority. People in my area drive thru so much that there are even liquor drive thrus and book drop off drive thrus at the library (never thought I would have seen that in my lifetime).

I'm old fashioned and it's usually faster in store. The drive through was for people doing new order, not for pickups. It was awhile back when there was some coupon going around where people were getting a free dozen. They did it to themselves where they overloaded themselves with orders and couldn't handle them all. They should have just disabled the coupon or invalidated all the later orders instead of wasting everyone's time who had their pickup orders ready to go.

I'll still go once or twice a year when I see them on the "too good to go" app though. They usually give out the leftovers, a dozen for $6 and it's not the original glazed either. Only thing is you need to be there within a very specific 30 minute window late at night like 10:00-10:30pm. I would do it if I were staying out late that night in that area but not really worth it to drive 20 minutes just to grab it late at night.

Krispy Kreme is usually swarmed on these free donut days, enough to block traffic. Not worth it for nasty donuts.
Now, if you want some delicious donuts from a little family owned shop called Crispie Creme....

Yes, that is correct. However, if the ingredient statement is accurate, none of the ingredients would be a source of trans fats. The product does use Hydrogenated Soybean Oil which means it is fully hydrogenated, hence no possibility of a trans bond.
