Dunkin' Tests Gluten-Free Donuts

The gluten-free trend is apparently going to continue to be a big deal in 2013. More people say they're including "stop eating gluten" on their lists of new year's resolutions, and now even Dunkin' Donuts is testing a line of gluten-free donuts.

According to the Huffington Post, the new gluten-free treats are being tested in southern Florida and Boston. Dunkin' says the products have been well-received, but there is as yet no timeline for expanding the offerings to more stores.

Cross-contamination is often a problem for people who can't eat gluten, and there must be tons of gluten-laden microscopic doughnut particles flying through the air in your average Dunkin' Donuts, so the gluten-free versions of the Dunkin' snacks will come sealed in individual packages. 

Of course, being devoid of gluten does not magically convert a donut into a health food. But it is still good news for any Celiac sufferers who feel like indulging in something sugary alongside their morning coffee.
