Dunkin’ Donuts is under fire over the quality of bacon they are adding to their products. Many netizens slammed the fast food outlet for using over-processed bacon that looks fake and smells weird.
Some people compared it to dog treats, which are not fit for human consumption. One buyer shared the video of her order with bacon. She pointed out the color and texture of the bacon while comparing it to dog treats she gives to her pet.
Another person compared the dog food and the Dunkin bacon. According to the official Dunkin website, they serve real bacon; however, it’s heavily processed. That may be one of the reasons that the bacon appeared to be fake.

Beyond being highly processed, bacon often packs a mix of sketchy additives. It frequently contains Sodium Nitrite, a known carcinogen linked to colorectal cancer, and Sodium Phosphate. You might also find Sodium Erythorbate, a purely synthetic preservative. To top it off, many brands sneak in added sugars that you can’t even taste, quietly threatening the health of diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals.
Many people have posted Dunkin’ Donuts’ bacon orders. A Reddit post captioned with “Ordered from Dunkin and the bacon arrived looking like this,” caught the attention of the engines. Many agreed the bacon looked fake and may contain harmful additives. One Reddit user commented, “Bro got the Play-Doh meal.”

One person defended the foot outlet and wrote, “That bacon is really good when it’s fried, I swear; it tastes crispy and salty, but they just warmed it up barely, so it’s a floppy abomination.” Another one joked, “imitation bacon.” The breakdown of the Dunkin bacon also went viral on X. One X user wrote, “Someone showed them a picture of bacon, and they did their best.“
Some people also pointed out that it may be vegetarian or Kosher bacon, and the outlet mentions this on the application. Regardless of the explanation, the bacon does look different from the real bacon strips that have a natural dark red color and rich texture.
