Dunkin' Donuts officials told Slashfood that none of its products were contaminated, and the temporary halt in sales is just a precautionary measure.
"We have confirmed that no Dunkin' Donuts products were contaminated," Michelle King, a spokeswoman for Dunkin' Donuts, says. "However, we have made the decision to temporarily withdraw the beverages from our stores to ensure the safety of our customers."
On Monday, Plainview Milk Products Cooperative of Plainview, Minn., voluntarily recalled the dried milk and whey protein due to a possible salmonella contamination. The company is disinfecting equipment in its Plainview facility, officials said.
The doughnut chain plans to sell the drinks again beginning next week.

It is quick, easy, delicious and I don't have to change out of my pj's to have a great cup of coffee. I use CoffeeMate sugar free Vanilla creamer with two splenda and it tastes fabulous and is low cal. I laugh when I see people drinking those big glasses of cream drinks from Dunkin Donuts and Starbuck...most are loaded with fat and sugar and so not worth the calories. And they cost too much too!
If I am going to waste calories I rather have a piece of cheesecake than a calorie laden coffee drink

JUST in case you can't read, the directions say to "keep your comments relevant to this blog entry." Something you apparently did not do. People do not get on these blogs to hear some self absorbed, diet touting, illiterate ignoramus talk about their latest new fad. Keep it relevant, or get off.

Mine is espresso, strong, hot & black, just like my wife.

Beth, obviously, you don't really go to Dunkin Donuts, as you would know that you can also get a coffee, with a sugar free shot of real french vanilla flavoring, along with skim milk, and as many splendas as you care to add. Doesn't make for a "cream" drink as you call it. Your blog sounds more like an ad for a variety of companies. Not very relavant to the story. Yes, I work at Dunkins and believe it or not see many individuals in their pj's and as far as the story goes, it is a voluntary recall. None of our product was tainted, however Dunkin Donuts is very big on customer safety and will take no risks on their part. Better to be safe than sorry.

And the staff is so rude and take offense when asked if they are having a shortage of ice when you get iced tea and there are three cubes floating on top of the cup. They act as if they are doing you a favor.
