The following is a Dunkin Donuts corporate statement on March 1, 2007 correcting a number of emails that Kashrut.com has received.

Dunkin' Donuts restaurants are independently owned and operated by franchisees. To receive an exception to operate as a kosher shop, the franchise owner must provide sufficient evidence that there is a demonstrated customer preference for a kosher restaurant. The franchisee is also required to show that the restaurant has received and will maintain proper kosher certification.
Currently, more than thirty Dunkin’ Donuts franchise owners nationwide have responded to community needs by obtaining kosher certification for their restaurants, and that is not changing.
