In today's video we will be talking about Cindy Snacks, Savory Fig and more Second Channel - / @callummarkie2 My Instagram is @callummarkie / callummarkie
The allergy aspect is potentially really serious, but even just the fact that she’s buying cheaper products and selling them at a premium is also disgusting
They don't even look appealing either. Like if I'm buying some premium stuff I want them to look nicer. Those def look like cheap donuts. What a maniac. Wonder if she one of those people that just pretends to be vegan for a trend or clout.
I went from having a bad gluten intolerance to a full allergy... it might just be wheat, but to be safe I go mostly gluten free but I'm fine when eating barley. So since flour is made with wheat, that is definitely Something I would worry about. Thankfully I'm no longer living in the US, but I don't want to go to the emergency room from a bad asthma attack or an allergy that turned into anaphylaxis....
It's either she knows someone and is giving her the donuts, or she is buying them. As someone who works currently in dunkin, I am screaming at all of this. This is just so messy in all sorts of ways and not in a good way. It doesn't matter if she knows someone, bought them, or even works in dunkin' as a baker. Using their stuff and trying to make it off as your gluten free things is not ok at all. Like why would that be anyone's first thought is my question?
A dancer recently d*ed from eating cookies from a store that were supposed to be nut free. This is extremely dangerous and this person should face severe repercussions.
how heartbreaking, may they rest in peace. i hope there are severe consequences for this and the incidents mentioned in the video and regulations to stop this kind of awful practice from happening again. i am not a legal professional at all but surely that is manslaughter or close to it?
Vegan products are also notoriously overpriced. She was making bank on those lies as well as potentially making someone very ill or killing them. I hope they throw the book at her.
This is the core of the issue. People make choices for all kinds of reasons, so the primary responsibility of a seller is to provide accurate information to inform those choices.
This wasn't just a person buying donuts, they're a supplier that provides vegan donuts to smaller vegan shops around the area to then sell. So the shop was upcharging Dunkin Donuts to provide to vegan retailers who would then sell the donuts to vegan customers. That's why the guy was so concerned and specifically mentioned donuts in the plural, it's extremely shady and without knowing who they supply to there's a LOT of people that could be affected.
My MIL didn't believe that my lactose intolerance was "that bad" until she made a dessert where she swore she'd used almond milk but actually used 2% and was shocked when I spent the next 3 days in the bathroom. Lost 10 pounds thanks to her little stunt. So I'm glad the store owner caught this "baker" out and I hope she gets the pants sued off her!
I swear people are always trying to “test” people with allergies as if they’re making it up. Bunch of psychopaths willingly risking injury to others because they refuse to believe something exists that doesn’t specifically affect them
I seriously don’t get people who think allergies or intolerance are something to not believe. Like if someone said they can’t have a peanut as it would kill them but to give to them knowly, it basically like murder. So sorry you had a horrible experience 😢
As someone who has celiac, there's SO much wrong with what this person has done. Ingesting gluten with celiac disease can make you so intensely sick, brain fog, severe migraines, extreme gastric distress, and long term effects like a severely heightened risk for COLON CANCER. I shop a lot of small gluten free businesses and knowing someone was doing this is just... it's terrifying. How many people got sick from this woman just having total disregard for the health and well being of other people who just didn't realize it happened happened because of HER?
seriously. Using DD is like when a serial kller gets really brazen bc the thrill of being caught is better than the other thing. Non celiac gluten intolerant over here. I ate something last week that I really, really thought was gluten free, but it wasn't. I'd forgotten how gross and painful it is. Unfortunately, I was the culprit. I'd gotten my labels mixed up looking for a snack during an active migraine. I may be to blame, but I refuse to take responsibility. I didn't sell DD as allergen free so it feels fine
That's right! I came here to comment about my aunt who also has celiac but you nailed it here, well said! Apparently too many times and you can even hurt the ability of the small intestine hair things to grow back at all which is fatal.
part of me wonders if shes one of those fucked up people who think that Celiac isn't real just because going "Gluten Free" became a Diet Fad Trend for so long :/ I had a friend growing up who had celiac so ive been aware of it my whole life but while hanging out with her i have seen her have to deal with people (not often but it has happened) that act like her saying she can't have anything Gluten is just her trying to 'diet' :/
I also have celiac and just imagining eating something like that gives me horrible flashbacks from before I was diagnosed, the hours of pain and throwing up that can happen over just some food is mental 😭
Baker, here! I actually attended pastry school. They probably were trying to cover their bases by proving that they were testing her donut, but I also 100% was able to tell it contained gluten from their cuts alone. It comes down to a variety of factors but some of the most important are the crumb (referring to the look of the bread once cut, not the actual crumbs) as well as the actual crumbs themselves. Gluten acts as a binding agent or a glue, literally holding the structure of the bread together. The majority of gluten free breads and desserts are generally quite fragile when compared to their gluten counterparts.
This! Also a baker and went to baking school and have been gluten-free for 20 years, but just looking at that doughnut I could you for certain that it was not gluten-free! Also, one bite and you can tell! But this is awful, especially if someone was newly Celiac and didn't know the difference yet.
Came down here to say this exact thing! My Mrs has Celiac disease and gluten-free baked goods have a VERY different texture. It's visually obvious that it's a wheat-flour donut.
Very true, gluten-free stuff doesn't hold together like that. There would be crumbs everywhere! I've tried replacing the flour in some recipes to make gluten-free cookies and muffins but they fall apart almost every time.
As a non pastry chef, or baker, but someone who likes to casually bake, I could already tell this was a Dunkin donut, donut. I have eaten them way to many times lol. Bread is fascinating isn’t it?!
it looks like an actual donut rather than a depressing dense mess that falls apart immediately, as someone with celiac i can tell through the photo i shouldn't eat this
Exactly..we dont know what people are going through, allergy isnt fun, and dont roll your eyes or complain if your customer, or someone you give to ask "if theres (allergy) in here"
I have a milk protein intolerance and even that can take me out for days sitting on the toilet in pain with a migraine. It pisses me off when people think it’s just a lifestyle choice. B, you don’t know why anyone is dairy or egg gluten or anything free, just do your job and don’t mess with my health.
I have celiac and a dairy allergy. it's so hard to find certain things, and when I first found out I had no idea what to avoid, what might have gotten me if I'd been sick, etc. I'd be so excited about gluten free donuts from a trusted source !! I once accidentally had a drink with regular instead of gluten free vodka and it took me THREE MONTHS to be able to work from home again, and like 5+ before I felt mostly okay. the amount of people that must have been fucked over by this, omf
I've got a mate who has a bad allergy toward alcohol, ( doctor thinks it's caused from his P.T.S.D. he's ex special forces ) one time he went out with friends and one of his * friends * thought it would be really funny to spike his drink with booze, long story short he drank the drink and ended up in an intensive care unit for 6 days. The specialist told him his body wouldn't survive another shock like that. The idiot who did it was sorry, but sorry won't cut it if your mate ends up dead...then it's a crime!
I always think about that poor kid who died because an Olive Garden employee rinsed his pasta in the same colander that they rinsed shrimp in. No shrimp was used in the dish but the pasta killed him before the paramedics could get there
On a tangent, this is why I hate people that deliberately sabotage customer's orders because they think the customer is either faking an allergy or being a healthnut (which would affect someone that specifically needs non dairy milks or have diabetes). Allegies are incredibly serious.
Honestly even if someone IS faking an allergy just because they don't like a certain food feeding it to them can still make them very sick. If you go for a long time without eating something your body gets bad at digesting it and will have a negative reaction to it if you eat it. I don't like pork so I don't eat it, but I've had friends and family members accidently give me food that had pork in it(usually because of cross contamination) just because they didn't think about it. It made me super sick every time because my body just doesn't know what to do with it anymore
I had it done to me years ago (18/19 years) at a chain restaurant. I asked for their vegan burger for take away for lunch got back ate through half of it and thought hmm something isn’t right here, my mouth and lips started stinging and itching and I had a rash all over my mouth and chin area. I opened the top of the burger and nothing… pulled it all apart and right underneath there was mayo on the bottom bun but only directly in the middle of the burger not enough to squish out when bitten into. I rang them back and the person on the phone was being cocky and extra loud…VEGAN BURGER…MAYO I heard cackling and laughing in the background til I said it’s nothing to do with me being vegan that I asked for no mayo, I’m allergic to eggs and have super bad asthma and this could make me really ill. They said ALLERGY and it went silent in the background and the cockiness disappeared, they started to get get panicky with all the apologies and offering free food, I was like nah I want to talk to someone higher about this, they were trying everything they could not to put me on to a manager. It’s not just about allergies or being a “healthnut” people don’t respect peoples ethics and morals and think that being vegan is stupid so like to get one over on us or teach us a lesson, har har, very funny. Ridiculous behaviour. 😡
@@xPidgexSmithx I heard that in some states (if you live in US) you can report the restaurant to the health department if they deliberately serve allergen-containing food to customers who are allergic to that allergen. BTW totally agree that it is a matter of ethics to serve the exact food a customer ordered (as long as the demand is reasonable). If an employee feel that it is stupid to serve vegan food in a non-vegan restaurant, maybe they should tell the manager to take the "stupid food" off the menu, or just GTFO and find another job.
Gluten and dairy aren’t allergies they’re sensitivities and intolerances. You won’t go into anaphylactic shock and die if you’re lactose intolerant or have celiacs.
I just think about that British woman who bought a vegan sandwich at pret a manger and died because the dressing contained dairy and she was allergic. Her husband was with her when it happened. Think she had two kids. It's still wrong to serve non vegan food as vegan to people without allergies, but it's more than just respecting vegans for their choices why it's important to not lie about stuff being vegan.
Yep Because all the ingredients weren't listed on the packaging I think there's now stricter laws about how anyone selling food all ingredients must be on the label or they can face a hefty fine or prison
@@ILoveRedPandas95 so thats the teen who died from eating pret a manger because sesame seeds weren't listed, this is a different story. The sandwich was supposed to be vegan but the yoghurt had dairy. I think the yoghurt was vegan but wasn't made in a safe environment despite being sold as such so there was cross contamination.
My grandmother with a gluten intolerance had to have 2 blood transfusions due to shit like this. We buy a separate sterile version of everything for her so she can be worry free when she’s with us but one person’s ignorance can kill her when she’s out in the world.
@@alexrice1870 Or, now stay with me, people selling a product who claim it's allergen free/vegan should deliver the correct product instead of cutting corners out of convenience/sheer laziness. It could be a lethal mistake that's easily avoided.
I have severe gluten and dairy allergies, it makes me vomit uncontrollably and I usually end up with a rash and open sores in my throat. If I went out of my way to get myself a treat that I was so sure was safe and then had a reaction like that, I would absolutely lose my mind. My mom also can't have gluten without her autoimmune disorder going crazy. The woman doing this to people is vile. She could actually kill someone. This isn't an accident where she didn't realize there was cross contamination {even then she would still be wrong because as a professional you have to be careful about that} but it was several instances of her deliberately getting donuts she knew to be unsafe and selling them to people.
My cousin has a disease that you can’t even touch him with pizza grease on your hand or he’ll get hives and start to wheeze. He’s allergic to ALL dairy- severely. I’m shocked she stayed open that long without killing anyone
@@saraives4848Exactly what I was thinking. How many people had an allergic reaction or got sick because of her but ruled out the donuts as the source because they were sure they were gluten free. There must be some cases like this if she’s been doing this for this long.
She could’ve owned up and handled it privately, which I think is far more than generous, instead, she doubled down and knowingly put people at risk. Absolutely disgusting. She does not deserve to have a bakery.
I can't believe she doubled down with her lies when he straight up asked her. Allergies can kill and it's incredibly dangerous to lie about these things.
My daughters celiac, my mum didnt think it was that much of a 'big deal'. So she used gravy with wheat in a stew , my daughter was straight to the toilet , stomach cramps and the runs. My mum said" oh it was the tiniest bit" 😡
That's dumb, you don't give a person with a peanut allergy food with peanut butter mixed in, watch them wheeze on the floor and say "oh it was the tiniest bit" as an excuse... People need to learn intolerances should be treated just as respectfully as allergies
that's rough. people need to realise that what humans see as tiny is actually IMMENSE: avagadro's constant is 6.02*10^23 - that's how many atoms of hydrogen are in 1 gram of hydrogen, or in 12 grams of carbon-12, etc. (also known as a "mole"), so for example, even one gram of milk at 2% lactose (12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms, totalling 176AU per molecule) will contain 1gram * 2% * avagadro's constant / 176 = 68,431,818,181,818,181,818 molecules of lactose (or just over 68.4 QUINTILLION) PER EVERY GRAM OF MILK - for reference the human body is about 17-35 trillion cells, so just one gram can be enough for up to 2 TO 3.5 MILLION MOLECULES PER CELL "the tiniest bit" my ARSE. obviously it'd be a different number for gluten (I can't find a chemical formula because it's a protein but it makes up roughly 80% of bread's weight), but we're still talking the range of 10s of quadrillions to potentially 10s of quintillions per gram depending how complex the protein strand is - still enough to outnumber your white blood cells thousands of times over edit: forgot to carry a 10 in the molecules per cell. fixed now
You'd be right at home on the JustnoMIL subreddit, they have so many stories about grandparents not taking being told that their grandchild has an allergy seriously. Hell, I came across a story where a woman with a severe latex allergy found her mother-in-law cut up a bunch of latex gloves and put them in her bed.
Wow. Dunkin Donuts should sue this lady into the ground. Besides all the terrible lying and endangering of peoples health and everything else awful, she is reselling goods without proper branding. This lady is in trouble for real.
Im someone with celiac and a resulting autoimmune disorder with my esophagus who's been gluten free for 12 years, this would literally hospitalize me, absolutely terrifying jesus christ
Im really sorry you have to deal with that, but I just had a joint and was only skimming the comments, and thought everyone was saying they were _Celtic._ This was the first comment I _read_ and now I feel reeeeal stupid.
I just genuinely don't understand how anybody could do this in good conscience, knowing they could very well land somebody into the hospital. It's shitty enough to resell products, at most likely a higher price, but to fuck around with people's health like this is just insane.
The thing is, you don't know if anyone has died from this. Unless there is suspicion of foul play or very weird circumstances, they usually do not get an autopsy.. Meaning that there could be someone living on their own, buying one of these doughnuts and dying alone at home like a lot of older people.. If they are young and its weird that they have died they might get opened up to see what the hell happened, but if they are older there is a likeliness of a heart attack and no suspicion is raised.. So there could absolutely be deaths already from this, the owner needs to be imprisoned and should never be able to open any business ever again.
5:42 Hi I’m a culinary student and it’s VERY clear that this has gluten in it. ( My mother has celiac as well so I am used to seeing gluten free foods). You can see how it’s nice and dense but still fluffy looking and moist. The average gluten free cake/donut/ bread is SUUUUPER dense and very dry and you can tell just by looking at it. I am also appalled by the lies of selling allergy friendly food and not actually doing so, it’s a huge violation and health risk.
See this is why I think she was lying about her credentials or was a literal scammer. She either couldn’t tell that there is a visual difference because she doesn’t actually bake vegan goods, or she thought they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference and made the conscious decision to defraud them…
Were any of your allergies something that might be found in a donut? Genuinely curious as I don't have any serious food allergies and I'm wondering how bad an allergic reaction to a donut could potentially be! Again, because I'm genuinely curious, not because I believe it couldn't be serious. Glad you're okay!
@@whelkpeopleofdoomhi! Joining in here as someone with horrible horrible allergies- my worst being eggs followed then by milk and wheat. I’d be in an anaphylactic attack within minutes, sick as a dog. I can barely eat any food and it’s an absolute blessing and joy to find something I can… finding out there are people out there lying like this breaks my heart and terrifies me.
@@Poppie-lb8ljIf it exists and has amino acids. You can be intolerant to certain starches/sugars because you can't digest it, but allergies are always reactions to proteins.
You pronounced Montauk correctly! Also wow that you have egg allergy, that’s a tough one. Thanks for speaking up for those of us who have to be careful with our food!
As someone with Coeliacs disease ive always been scared of something like this happening and i thought it was just an irrational fear and nobody would ever do anything like that but i guess i was wrong 😭😭
I had an angry barista try to give me cows milk like I wouldn't notice or something lol I almost gagged when she handed it to me. She also used a dirty cannister to froth the milk. I don't know why she hated me but she took the order from her coworker forcefully and gave me weird looks. Lol. It's weird.
@@alexrice1870 I don't know that it has been ever intentional, but I have had so many baristas use cows milk when I ask for almond milk. I ask if they used almond milk and they say no and have to remake it. The worst is starbucks mobile orders. I stopped ordering mobile from the starbucks near me because it often had to be remade when I got there because they didn't use almond milk when I asked them. Just one barista that I think looked at the first word of a drink and nothing else.
When I lived overseas there was a young woman that had started a vegan/allergy friendly baking business as a kid and she took this type of thing VERY seriously. Her brother had a lot of allergies which is what prompted her started this biz. She was wonderful and very transparent about her process. I miss her snacks, they were amazing! This is not something to mess with. Allergies and dietary needs are important. I am plant based by choice and even I'd be mad about this. I'm glad they caught it and took precautions. Why would someone throw away their whole career like this? Crazy.
A resturtaunt in the US recently killed a doctor because they told her their food was safe with her allergies, and lied. Steve Lehto of Lehto's Law recently covered this. The Savoury Fig is in MASSIVE legal trouble. I can't remember al the details, but there are very strict laws regarding selling allergy safe foods.
Her going "just don't put them out" is ridiculous. I know someone with a gluten allergy. Her food can't even have TOUCHED something with gluten in it, or her life will be in danger. If the Dunkin Donuts donuts already touched other donuts, the entire batch is cross contaminated
As a celiac who experiences facial paralysis , neurological decline, tremors , migraines and more from just a bit of gluten contamination , let alone eating something fully containing it: I hope she gets the full extent of what’s coming to her. ☺️ Messing with people’s health just for making money off of them is VILE.
As some one who has baked gluten free for friends and family. Gluten free flour wouldn't have the same sort of airation of dough as gluten. Of course you can usually tell by texture as they usually have very different textures. Gluten free flour tends to be more grainy then wheat, and anyone who works with it or eats it understands that graininess. The best way to disguise it is with a product thats already grainy like a sugar cookie or snickerdoodle. But usually people who eat it long term are used to the the texture change in baked goods. But of course it totally depends on what you are baking and what gluten free flour you use since there are a few on the market now a days.
The second I saw CindySnacks I went "oh god this happened here (on LI) didn't it" (Also good job on pronouncing Montauk!) Also as someone with multiple food allergies this is honestly so infuriating & just proves that I'm never being too careful or too paranoid about checking what the hell I'm given.
I was eating at a uni cafetería with someone who has celiac and all the restaurant had that was safe was gluten free bread. She was happy to just eat anything so she patiently waited for her bread. It was gluten free bread but they felt bad that was all they had so they toasted it for her. In the same toaster they use for gluten bread. I saw her die a little inside when she realized "They only have one toaster, don't they?" It was a bad night. Nice gesture but thoughtless all the same.
Yeah. That's why the shop had to refuse to sell any of the donuts she brought in that day. Even if all but the one were gluten-free they were all contaminated because of it. This isn't just unprofessional. It's dangerously neglectful at best and malicious at worst
these donuts could give me SO MUCH PAIN I'm heavily lactose intolerant (not only lactose but everything inside the milk) and extreme gluten allergies to the point I throw up and it feels like I've been poisoned
I have a non-celiac gluten intolerance that makes me very sick when I eat, trace amounts of gluten. This video is like my worst nightmare. there have been several times times where I go to restaurants and I’m told something is gluten-free but since they aren’t educated on what gluten actually is, they failed to mention that the meat is marinated in soy sauce or a cocktail ends up containing malt and I only find out when I am violently ill. Really feels like it should be a bigger part of the food handling in my opinion, allergies are very serious stuff, and for some people they are life and death.
My mother ate a corner of a fork worth of canned tuna and immediately flared up, had to be sent to the hospital, injected because her throat was just closing up super quick and had to be on a special "plain" diet (white rice with garlic seasoning and salt, NOTHING else) for several weeks to detox her body. Allergies are no joke and sometimes even smelling the product can cause a flare up. This is disgusting. Sometimes there is literally no time between when you notice your allergies are acting up and losing your life because the ambulance wasnt quick enough.
Last year i developed a gluten allergy and shit like this is why i just hate the process of buying premade food. Ppl dont actually care if u have an allergy, they just see you as an inconvenience :/
I have celiacs. Having gluten accidentally even one time, is initially extremely painful and inconvenient, can also cause serious damage to my intenstines, that takes months to repair with an even more restrictive diet. I'd be livid.
yes my friend has celiac disease and is allergic to gluten if she just swallows a bite of gluten her throat will immediately close up and she has to have her epi pen near by at all times
As someone with multiple severe food allergies, this PISSES ME OFF. I’m allergic to eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, and shellfish, and due to all this I specifically look for vegan/plant based options due to it usually being a safer option. In fact, one of my favorite bakeries is a vegan bakery I travel an hour to patronize. If I would’ve eaten one of those donuts Michelle tried to pass off as Vegan, it 100% would have killed me. I’m so glad that Cindy’s Snacks actually took this seriously, not just for the vegan community but for those with food allergies. As for Michelle, I hope she stubs her toe on everything she sees and then loses her business.
Celiac here ✌️ I have literal nightmares about getting “glutened” - many people who don’t have allergies are oblivious to how much of our day is consumed dealing with planning around allergies. To hear someone had a blatant disregard for safety, that’s infuriating. Also every time someone with Celiac ingests gluten, it does intestinal damage and we don’t absorb nutrients properly for months. Straight 👏 to 👏 jail 👏
Yeah, this is an incredibly dangerous thing Savory Fig did and I hope they get sued to oblivion 😡 I am Celiac and have DH. If I ate any of those doughnuts, I would not only break out into hives, but I would be passed out next to the toilet from throwing up for hours. My intestines would form "hives" and I would be put at risk for developing literal cancer. I've been there, done that, and I don't want to go through cancer treatment again because of some disgustingly lazy business owner.
Celiac girly checking. It I were go eat this donut thinking it was gluten free it would have resulted in vomiting, horrible stomach cramps, and brain fog. It can take you out for a day or two. Not to mention the long-term effects. Each person is different with their symptoms. Not to mention this is clearly false advertisement.
My little brother has celiac disease. It is no joke. When he was in college, he had chili which was allegedly gluten free. It was not. He ended up sick for two days, unable to keep anything down, not even water. This woman should be ashamed of herself.
The point isn’t just about allergies. People think if you choose a diet vs being forced into it for health reasons a mistake doesn’t matter as much. Well it matters all the same. People put food into their bodies and everyone has every right to know what they are eating. Period.
Ammy Robinson covered this and I had commented something on her video as well - I used to run a cottage home baking business for a bit (because of the nature of the products I made and the amount of sales, I didn't need to require licensing) and knew that there were very big requirements for catering to gluten free and allergy issues - to the point where often you need to use separate baking utensils and things to prevent cross contamination. It would be one thing to white label products but do so with accurate labeling, but that's not what was done. I myself don't have food allergies, but due to being immunocompromised, I have to be careful about food safety and also have to avoid certain foods due to their interactions with my medications. This is a very big issue that could have caused many people health issues and isn't just a "sticking it to vegans" thing and we shouldn't accept this kind of bad behavior.
My partner is vegan and when he was a year into it he accidentally ate non-vegan cheese (yes it’s a thing and it actually tastes pretty good, no I am not vegan myself) from some burger spot that had vegan cheese and meats on their menu. My partner was stuck in the bathroom for hours as a result, his body was no longer used to dairy and other animal food stuff and it triggered a lactose intolerant reaction and no he was not lactose intolerant before, most cheeses that you put on a burger don’t even do that to people either. Going vegan for a long while and then suddenly going back to a diverse diet of whatever can cause allergic reactions to it. It could have been dangerous for someone vegan to eat that doughnut
this too. I’ve been vegan/vegetarian for decades but I recently re-started eating fish cos my new job’s cantine has no vegetarian food (I live in a country where no one cares about alternative diets unless you have allergies) and I’m currently not in a financial position to refuse free food. Even just with fish (I can’t stand the taste of meat) I’ve been so bloated! This person is a criminal.
As someone who has a brother with Celiac this is absolutely terrible. You have to go through so much effort to make sure things are actually gluten free because it’s super dangerous.
Its nice to see a business that cares so much about their customers! If I lived near them & needed allergy-free/vegan donuts, I would absolutely trust this place over any other & happily pay the difference if theirs were more expensive than other similar shops in the area. Love me some ethical capitalism!
there's allergies, religious reasons, and just personal comfort. also a new eating disorder is emerging called ARFID. this could trigger someone. how is the provider so flippant about this ?!?!?
ARFID has been around for a long time, it’s not new. In 2013 it was put in the DSM-5 as an expansion to/replacement of the already listed “feeding disorder of infancy or early childhood”, effectively providing recognition for adults that had most likely carried the disorder from childhood.
I live in Suffolk County, Long Island. This I terrifying to me! I have celiac disease (a mild case, but I'm still gluten intolerant), and it's nightmare fuel like this that makes it almost impossible for me to go out to eat. I'm always afraid of something like this happening by accident; so for this woman to be running around doing it on purpose (allegedly), it's my nightmare!
A couple years back Dunkins was selling these DIY donut decorating kits which included those sprinkles. They came in these tiny plastic cups that looked like their iced coffee cups. I recognized the sprinkles right away upon the thumbnail. Definitely not the sprinkles she bought online.
I work in a school kitchen, and if something like this happened with one of the children, the whole school could get sued. Gluten and wheat are considered allergens by the USDA and food service companies must label their foods accordingly. If she's advertising vegan products and lying that is even worse since eggs and milk are also part of the Big Eight food allergies. People with milk and egg allergies may choose to go vegan simply to ensure they don't get an allergic reaction on accident. So yea, it's a big deal!
As someone with celiac disease I can truthfully say I sued a restaurant and won after I was given gluten. I really don’t feel like I need to explain every single detail but yes, I did tell them I had celiac disease yes, they were aware that it was an allergy. I was told there was no cross contamination. I was told that the product would be fully gluten-free, and I would be perfectly safe.
I’m not vegan I’m vegetarian but if someone gave me meat and said it was vegetarian my stomach would ligit drop I’ve not eaten meat since I was 12 n I’m almost 21 and it would fill me with so much guilt n effect me emotionally ppl don’t understand how it can effect people even if it’s not for diet reasons
I have celiac disease and a severe gluten allergy so this is my worst nightmare. People that don’t take allergies seriously are terrible, you could be responsible for hospitalization or even death
This makes me so angry. It isn't the first time that someone has done something like this. I remember a man selling loaves of "gluten free" bread at a farmers market every week and it was just regular bread. I have celiac disease. A regular donut would make me vomit within 20 minutes of eating it and cause sever stomach pain for days to follow. I also have a pretty long list of food allergies and am very careful not to consume those items. My sons have a friend with a severe egg allergy and another that can't have gluten. At every party, I let them know what is and is not safe to eat. I would be livid if I ever served a guest something that might hurt them, thinking that it was safe.
As someone with nut allergies I am sooooo scared to trust others with my food but I also feel like a burden for having this issue. When places promise me nut free food I trust it completely because it helps me avoid the embarrassment of having to be like "is this nut free? Do you clean all your equipment?" Seeing this though makes me so scared again. I wish there were ways to test it easily.
A lot of people sho choose to eat vegan at restaurants and stuff do so because of allergies, it's just easier than asking about every ingredient. So this is truly horrible.
Yeah, i work at a vegan restaurant/market and we get a lot of non-vegans with special dietary needs like dairy or egg allergies, or even just to buy specialty stuff like sugar alternatives that just aren't sold elsewhere.
I have coworkers with egg allergies and lactose intolerance, so when we all bring snacks for the break room, I learned how to bake vegan goodies. I even did my research and converted my brownie recipe to vegan. I double checked that no one had gluten issues, too. At least it’s not life-threatening-in that case I’d have brought something from a vegan bakery to avoid any cross-contamination.
as someone w an allergy that makes me hafta read labels to make sure i dont break out in hives, this is genuinely terrifyin. my allergy isnt as bad as others r(aka theres not a high chance i could die) but bc im allergic to pork, which is in p much almost EVERYTHING even alotve candies, ive still gotta be careful. hell ive gotta be careful w fastfood bc sometimes they use pork mixed w beef. i cant possibly imagine the terror id feel at findin out a company ive trusted to care for me was actually buyin stuff that im allergic to and sellin it to me. horrible ppl truly
As someone with a rare food allergy, I have to read all the labels of the food I eat. I have to ask when I go out to ensure what is in the food. For this lady to do this is madding! I hope she is stopped ASAP!
That donut has gluten. You can tell by the inside bubbles that gluten flour was used and how the donut crumbles very easily and consistently. Gluten free donuts have a very different consistency because the binding process of ingredients is very different. Gluten free donuts are generally more moist and don't have that consistent bubble blend.
I am one of those unfortunate with a gluten allergy. If I have gluten it can mimic a burst appendix and I get rushed to ER just to figure out its an allergic reaction. So I'm very glad that the company is taking it as seriously as they are
I have a friend who is allergic to chicken eggs, so she often gets for vegan options for pre-made foods as that is the only sure way to make to make sure premade foods don’t contain eggs. Even mayonnaise has some egg in it, so anything can be risky.
I have severe gluten allergy. It makes me so sick that I pass out. I can't even imagine going and getting a donut before work, and then passing out at work or even shopping!! This makes me absolutely furious!!!
As an allergy sufferers, this could cause someone to actually lose their life! This is absolutely a concern to customers! My goodness! I thought oh... Here we go... Then watching it my heart dropped! I hope nobody was seriously adversely affected!
This is a serious business screw up. She could face serious lawsuits. As my family has a few member with food intolerance and allergies, one even needing to carry an epi pen. The consequences are high for a business to pass off products that claim to not have ingredients that clearly do. In the UK the foods need to be clearly labeled with all ingredients due to Natasha's law.
I have a dear older friend who has a gluten allergy. Eating a gluten donut would at the very least have her on the toilet for DAYS. You can't play with people's lives like this.
When I worked at pizza hut, I was told that we couldn't cut the gluten free pizzas anymore because some workers got careless and used pizza cutters cross-contaminated with non-gluten free dough, and because of that it ended in someones death.
As someone with severe food allergies, Covid was horrible. Places that I have gone for a decade that have safe, allergen free options suddenly changed their tune during the pandemic times and not only no longer offer safe options but also don’t seem to care an ounce about those of us that need accommodation. I wish I could say this surprises me, but the reality is that most of the people running these places don’t care anymore and wouldn’t care if I dropped dead in their parking lot from “safe” food they’ve just provided.
I have multiple training in allergy awareness and years of experience in hospitality as a chef barista and what not. I am also terrified of contaminating my food and drinks and etc with allergens or cross contamination. I am terrified of doing it ACCIDENTALLY let alone INTERNATIONALLY just wow
The allergy aspect is potentially really serious, but even just the fact that she’s buying cheaper products and selling them at a premium is also disgusting
I want them to go to Dunkin Donuts in the area and ask if they recognize her. What a horrible person.
They don't even look appealing either. Like if I'm buying some premium stuff I want them to look nicer. Those def look like cheap donuts. What a maniac. Wonder if she one of those people that just pretends to be vegan for a trend or clout.
Dude gluten makes me so sick and it just keeps getting worse... iv contemplated going to the hospital but didn't cause I'm poor lol
I went from having a bad gluten intolerance to a full allergy... it might just be wheat, but to be safe I go mostly gluten free but I'm fine when eating barley. So since flour is made with wheat, that is definitely Something I would worry about. Thankfully I'm no longer living in the US, but I don't want to go to the emergency room from a bad asthma attack or an allergy that turned into anaphylaxis....
It's either she knows someone and is giving her the donuts, or she is buying them. As someone who works currently in dunkin, I am screaming at all of this. This is just so messy in all sorts of ways and not in a good way. It doesn't matter if she knows someone, bought them, or even works in dunkin' as a baker. Using their stuff and trying to make it off as your gluten free things is not ok at all. Like why would that be anyone's first thought is my question?
A dancer recently d*ed from eating cookies from a store that were supposed to be nut free. This is extremely dangerous and this person should face severe repercussions.
god this almost happened to me, i just left a comment about my experience. i def could have died if i didn't live with a nurse at the time 😩
Why did you censor "died"? CZcams doesn't censor that word like it sometimes does with "suicide". 🤔
how heartbreaking, may they rest in peace. i hope there are severe consequences for this and the incidents mentioned in the video and regulations to stop this kind of awful practice from happening again. i am not a legal professional at all but surely that is manslaughter or close to it?

Finally, an internet lawsuit that actually makes sense
Now we need Savory Fig to send a C&D to or file a complaint against Cindy Snack for defamation.
Gluten allergy is fake. No such thing here in Italy. Every one eats gluten. That’s a made up American thing.
Dietary preferences aside, this person committed fraud. If someone buys a vegan doughnut to eat a vegan doughnut, they should get a vegan doughnut
Tbh the vegan thing pales in comparison to how someone could have died.
Vegan products are also notoriously overpriced. She was making bank on those lies as well as potentially making someone very ill or killing them. I hope they throw the book at her.
This is the core of the issue. People make choices for all kinds of reasons, so the primary responsibility of a seller is to provide accurate information to inform those choices.
This wasn't just a person buying donuts, they're a supplier that provides vegan donuts to smaller vegan shops around the area to then sell.
So the shop was upcharging Dunkin Donuts to provide to vegan retailers who would then sell the donuts to vegan customers. That's why the guy was so concerned and specifically mentioned donuts in the plural, it's extremely shady and without knowing who they supply to there's a LOT of people that could be affected.
My MIL didn't believe that my lactose intolerance was "that bad" until she made a dessert where she swore she'd used almond milk but actually used 2% and was shocked when I spent the next 3 days in the bathroom. Lost 10 pounds thanks to her little stunt.
So I'm glad the store owner caught this "baker" out and I hope she gets the pants sued off her!
OMGS, I'm so sorry for you going through that. That was horrible of her.
I hope your spouse gave their mom a piece of their mind for doing that!
I swear people are always trying to “test” people with allergies as if they’re making it up. Bunch of psychopaths willingly risking injury to others because they refuse to believe something exists that doesn’t specifically affect them
I seriously don’t get people who think allergies or intolerance are something to not believe. Like if someone said they can’t have a peanut as it would kill them but to give to them knowly, it basically like murder. So sorry you had a horrible experience 😢
🙏🏽 I was ready to say something about MILs, but I won’t dare. 🤐
As someone who has celiac, there's SO much wrong with what this person has done. Ingesting gluten with celiac disease can make you so intensely sick, brain fog, severe migraines, extreme gastric distress, and long term effects like a severely heightened risk for COLON CANCER. I shop a lot of small gluten free businesses and knowing someone was doing this is just... it's terrifying. How many people got sick from this woman just having total disregard for the health and well being of other people who just didn't realize it happened happened because of HER?
And what is she want so blatant with using dd and used a none recognizable brand decoration. She wouldn't have been caught
seriously. Using DD is like when a serial kller gets really brazen bc the thrill of being caught is better than the other thing.
Non celiac gluten intolerant over here. I ate something last week that I really, really thought was gluten free, but it wasn't. I'd forgotten how gross and painful it is. Unfortunately, I was the culprit. I'd gotten my labels mixed up looking for a snack during an active migraine. I may be to blame, but I refuse to take responsibility. I didn't sell DD as allergen free so it feels fine
That's right! I came here to comment about my aunt who also has celiac but you nailed it here, well said! Apparently too many times and you can even hurt the ability of the small intestine hair things to grow back at all which is fatal.
part of me wonders if shes one of those fucked up people who think that Celiac isn't real just because going "Gluten Free" became a Diet Fad Trend for so long :/ I had a friend growing up who had celiac so ive been aware of it my whole life but while hanging out with her i have seen her have to deal with people (not often but it has happened) that act like her saying she can't have anything Gluten is just her trying to 'diet' :/
I also have celiac and just imagining eating something like that gives me horrible flashbacks from before I was diagnosed, the hours of pain and throwing up that can happen over just some food is mental 😭
Baker, here! I actually attended pastry school.
They probably were trying to cover their bases by proving that they were testing her donut, but I also 100% was able to tell it contained gluten from their cuts alone.
It comes down to a variety of factors but some of the most important are the crumb (referring to the look of the bread once cut, not the actual crumbs) as well as the actual crumbs themselves. Gluten acts as a binding agent or a glue, literally holding the structure of the bread together. The majority of gluten free breads and desserts are generally quite fragile when compared to their gluten counterparts.
This! Also a baker and went to baking school and have been gluten-free for 20 years, but just looking at that doughnut I could you for certain that it was not gluten-free! Also, one bite and you can tell! But this is awful, especially if someone was newly Celiac and didn't know the difference yet.
Came down here to say this exact thing! My Mrs has Celiac disease and gluten-free baked goods have a VERY different texture. It's visually obvious that it's a wheat-flour donut.
Very true, gluten-free stuff doesn't hold together like that. There would be crumbs everywhere! I've tried replacing the flour in some recipes to make gluten-free cookies and muffins but they fall apart almost every time.
As a non pastry chef, or baker, but someone who likes to casually bake, I could already tell this was a Dunkin donut, donut. I have eaten them way to many times lol. Bread is fascinating isn’t it?!
it looks like an actual donut rather than a depressing dense mess that falls apart immediately, as someone with celiac i can tell through the photo i shouldn't eat this
I have a shellfish allergy. Feeding someone something that is "supposed " to be safe but isn't can kill someone. So dangerous 💔
Exactly..we dont know what people are going through, allergy isnt fun, and dont roll your eyes or complain if your customer, or someone you give to ask "if theres (allergy) in here"
I have a milk protein intolerance and even that can take me out for days sitting on the toilet in pain with a migraine. It pisses me off when people think it’s just a lifestyle choice. B, you don’t know why anyone is dairy or egg gluten or anything free, just do your job and don’t mess with my health.
I have celiac and a dairy allergy. it's so hard to find certain things, and when I first found out I had no idea what to avoid, what might have gotten me if I'd been sick, etc. I'd be so excited about gluten free donuts from a trusted source !! I once accidentally had a drink with regular instead of gluten free vodka and it took me THREE MONTHS to be able to work from home again, and like 5+ before I felt mostly okay. the amount of people that must have been fucked over by this, omf
I've got a mate who has a bad allergy toward alcohol, ( doctor thinks it's caused from his P.T.S.D. he's ex special forces ) one time he went out with friends and one of his * friends * thought it would be really funny to spike his drink with booze, long story short he drank the drink and ended up in an intensive care unit for 6 days. The specialist told him his body wouldn't survive another shock like that. The idiot who did it was sorry, but sorry won't cut it if your mate ends up dead...then it's a crime!
I always think about that poor kid who died because an Olive Garden employee rinsed his pasta in the same colander that they rinsed shrimp in. No shrimp was used in the dish but the pasta killed him before the paramedics could get there
On a tangent, this is why I hate people that deliberately sabotage customer's orders because they think the customer is either faking an allergy or being a healthnut (which would affect someone that specifically needs non dairy milks or have diabetes). Allegies are incredibly serious.
Honestly even if someone IS faking an allergy just because they don't like a certain food feeding it to them can still make them very sick. If you go for a long time without eating something your body gets bad at digesting it and will have a negative reaction to it if you eat it. I don't like pork so I don't eat it, but I've had friends and family members accidently give me food that had pork in it(usually because of cross contamination) just because they didn't think about it. It made me super sick every time because my body just doesn't know what to do with it anymore
I had it done to me years ago (18/19 years) at a chain restaurant. I asked for their vegan burger for take away for lunch got back ate through half of it and thought hmm something isn’t right here, my mouth and lips started stinging and itching and I had a rash all over my mouth and chin area. I opened the top of the burger and nothing… pulled it all apart and right underneath there was mayo on the bottom bun but only directly in the middle of the burger not enough to squish out when bitten into.
I rang them back and the person on the phone was being cocky and extra loud…VEGAN BURGER…MAYO I heard cackling and laughing in the background til I said it’s nothing to do with me being vegan that I asked for no mayo, I’m allergic to eggs and have super bad asthma and this could make me really ill. They said ALLERGY and it went silent in the background and the cockiness disappeared, they started to get get panicky with all the apologies and offering free food, I was like nah I want to talk to someone higher about this, they were trying everything they could not to put me on to a manager.
It’s not just about allergies or being a “healthnut” people don’t respect peoples ethics and morals and think that being vegan is stupid so like to get one over on us or teach us a lesson, har har, very funny. Ridiculous behaviour. 😡
@@xPidgexSmithx I heard that in some states (if you live in US) you can report the restaurant to the health department if they deliberately serve allergen-containing food to customers who are allergic to that allergen.
BTW totally agree that it is a matter of ethics to serve the exact food a customer ordered (as long as the demand is reasonable). If an employee feel that it is stupid to serve vegan food in a non-vegan restaurant, maybe they should tell the manager to take the "stupid food" off the menu, or just GTFO and find another job.
Gluten and dairy aren’t allergies they’re sensitivities and intolerances. You won’t go into anaphylactic shock and die if you’re lactose intolerant or have celiacs.
@@psyience3213 you can very much be allergic to milk it’s not just an intolerance in some people. It can cause anaphylaxis.
I just think about that British woman who bought a vegan sandwich at pret a manger and died because the dressing contained dairy and she was allergic. Her husband was with her when it happened. Think she had two kids. It's still wrong to serve non vegan food as vegan to people without allergies, but it's more than just respecting vegans for their choices why it's important to not lie about stuff being vegan.
Yep
Because all the ingredients weren't listed on the packaging
I think there's now stricter laws about how anyone selling food all ingredients must be on the label or they can face a hefty fine or prison
so no only is risky people health she also falsely sell things that aren't vegan or gutten free. Both are bad as hells
@@ILoveRedPandas95 so thats the teen who died from eating pret a manger because sesame seeds weren't listed, this is a different story. The sandwich was supposed to be vegan but the yoghurt had dairy. I think the yoghurt was vegan but wasn't made in a safe environment despite being sold as such so there was cross contamination.
There was a young girl who got a sandwich from there two and passed away due allergic reaction from sandwich all down to incorrect labelling
Many people don’t know the difference between vegan and vegetarian

@@alexrice1870 Or, now stay with me, people selling a product who claim it's allergen free/vegan should deliver the correct product instead of cutting corners out of convenience/sheer laziness. It could be a lethal mistake that's easily avoided.

@tomeeshahaller4226 you DO REALIZE that needing and having access are not the same RIGHT? Or do you love to complain about things nobody said often?
I have severe gluten and dairy allergies, it makes me vomit uncontrollably and I usually end up with a rash and open sores in my throat. If I went out of my way to get myself a treat that I was so sure was safe and then had a reaction like that, I would absolutely lose my mind. My mom also can't have gluten without her autoimmune disorder going crazy.
The woman doing this to people is vile. She could actually kill someone. This isn't an accident where she didn't realize there was cross contamination {even then she would still be wrong because as a professional you have to be careful about that} but it was several instances of her deliberately getting donuts she knew to be unsafe and selling them to people.
Gluten and dairy trigger my lupus and depression. Faking food is dangerous.
My cousin has a disease that you can’t even touch him with pizza grease on your hand or he’ll get hives and start to wheeze. He’s allergic to ALL dairy- severely. I’m shocked she stayed open that long without killing anyone
She very well could have and the person/family thought it was a different source of cross contamination therefore never reported it.
@@saraives4848Exactly what I was thinking. How many people had an allergic reaction or got sick because of her but ruled out the donuts as the source because they were sure they were gluten free. There must be some cases like this if she’s been doing this for this long.

My daughters celiac, my mum didnt think it was that much of a 'big deal'.
So she used gravy with wheat in a stew , my daughter was straight to the toilet , stomach cramps and the runs.
My mum said" oh it was the tiniest bit"
😡
That's dumb, you don't give a person with a peanut allergy food with peanut butter mixed in, watch them wheeze on the floor and say "oh it was the tiniest bit" as an excuse... People need to learn intolerances should be treated just as respectfully as allergies
that's rough. people need to realise that what humans see as tiny is actually IMMENSE: avagadro's constant is 6.02*10^23 - that's how many atoms of hydrogen are in 1 gram of hydrogen, or in 12 grams of carbon-12, etc. (also known as a "mole"), so for example, even one gram of milk at 2% lactose (12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms, totalling 176AU per molecule) will contain 1gram * 2% * avagadro's constant / 176 = 68,431,818,181,818,181,818 molecules of lactose (or just over 68.4 QUINTILLION) PER EVERY GRAM OF MILK - for reference the human body is about 17-35 trillion cells, so just one gram can be enough for up to 2 TO 3.5 MILLION MOLECULES PER CELL
"the tiniest bit" my ARSE. obviously it'd be a different number for gluten (I can't find a chemical formula because it's a protein but it makes up roughly 80% of bread's weight), but we're still talking the range of 10s of quadrillions to potentially 10s of quintillions per gram depending how complex the protein strand is - still enough to outnumber your white blood cells thousands of times over
edit: forgot to carry a 10 in the molecules per cell. fixed now
My mom thinks I exaggerate my allergy 😂 I have a severe tree nut allergy btw
Please tell me you've cut her out of your life and your daughter's life.
You'd be right at home on the JustnoMIL subreddit, they have so many stories about grandparents not taking being told that their grandchild has an allergy seriously. Hell, I came across a story where a woman with a severe latex allergy found her mother-in-law cut up a bunch of latex gloves and put them in her bed.

I just genuinely don't understand how anybody could do this in good conscience, knowing they could very well land somebody into the hospital. It's shitty enough to resell products, at most likely a higher price, but to fuck around with people's health like this is just insane.
The thing is, you don't know if anyone has died from this. Unless there is suspicion of foul play or very weird circumstances, they usually do not get an autopsy.. Meaning that there could be someone living on their own, buying one of these doughnuts and dying alone at home like a lot of older people.. If they are young and its weird that they have died they might get opened up to see what the hell happened, but if they are older there is a likeliness of a heart attack and no suspicion is raised.. So there could absolutely be deaths already from this, the owner needs to be imprisoned and should never be able to open any business ever again.

Hi I’m a culinary student and it’s VERY clear that this has gluten in it. ( My mother has celiac as well so I am used to seeing gluten free foods). You can see how it’s nice and dense but still fluffy looking and moist. The average gluten free cake/donut/ bread is SUUUUPER dense and very dry and you can tell just by looking at it.
I am also appalled by the lies of selling allergy friendly food and not actually doing so, it’s a huge violation and health risk.
See this is why I think she was lying about her credentials or was a literal scammer. She either couldn’t tell that there is a visual difference because she doesn’t actually bake vegan goods, or she thought they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference and made the conscious decision to defraud them…
I’m just glad she got sloppy enough to get caught. As someone with multiple family members who have allergies and intolerances, this is unacceptable.
pretty brazen to think she could pass a donut off with literally dunkin donut sprinkles
Omg, I heard about this. And as someone who went to the ER a lot of times for food allergies, this is scary
Were any of your allergies something that might be found in a donut? Genuinely curious as I don't have any serious food allergies and I'm wondering how bad an allergic reaction to a donut could potentially be! Again, because I'm genuinely curious, not because I believe it couldn't be serious. Glad you're okay!

I stopped ordering mobile from the starbucks near me because it often had to be remade when I got there because they didn't use almond milk when I asked them. Just one barista that I think looked at the first word of a drink and nothing else.
When I lived overseas there was a young woman that had started a vegan/allergy friendly baking business as a kid and she took this type of thing VERY seriously. Her brother had a lot of allergies which is what prompted her started this biz. She was wonderful and very transparent about her process. I miss her snacks, they were amazing! This is not something to mess with. Allergies and dietary needs are important. I am plant based by choice and even I'd be mad about this. I'm glad they caught it and took precautions. Why would someone throw away their whole career like this? Crazy.
A resturtaunt in the US recently killed a doctor because they told her their food was safe with her allergies, and lied. Steve Lehto of Lehto's Law recently covered this. The Savoury Fig is in MASSIVE legal trouble. I can't remember al the details, but there are very strict laws regarding selling allergy safe foods.
It's a Disney world restaurant, they'll be fine.
Her going "just don't put them out" is ridiculous. I know someone with a gluten allergy. Her food can't even have TOUCHED something with gluten in it, or her life will be in danger. If the Dunkin Donuts donuts already touched other donuts, the entire batch is cross contaminated
gross negligence at best and attempted murder at worst
I worked at Dunkin for years and recognized that donut immediately
DD is a franchise, these sprinkles are not sold in a regular store, probably is somethung made specifically for this specific brand.
Its the broken trust, laziness, and outright disregard for others health for me.
As a celiac who experiences facial paralysis , neurological decline, tremors , migraines and more from just a bit of gluten contamination , let alone eating something fully containing it: I hope she gets the full extent of what’s coming to her. ☺️
Messing with people’s health just for making money off of them is VILE.
As some one who has baked gluten free for friends and family. Gluten free flour wouldn't have the same sort of airation of dough as gluten. Of course you can usually tell by texture as they usually have very different textures. Gluten free flour tends to be more grainy then wheat, and anyone who works with it or eats it understands that graininess. The best way to disguise it is with a product thats already grainy like a sugar cookie or snickerdoodle. But usually people who eat it long term are used to the the texture change in baked goods. But of course it totally depends on what you are baking and what gluten free flour you use since there are a few on the market now a days.
The second I saw CindySnacks I went "oh god this happened here (on LI) didn't it" (Also good job on pronouncing Montauk!)
Also as someone with multiple food allergies this is honestly so infuriating & just proves that I'm never being too careful or too paranoid about checking what the hell I'm given.
Also tho I have a friend with celiac and she can’t eat anything that has even touched gluten. This is so unprofessionalllll omfg
I was eating at a uni cafetería with someone who has celiac and all the restaurant had that was safe was gluten free bread. She was happy to just eat anything so she patiently waited for her bread. It was gluten free bread but they felt bad that was all they had so they toasted it for her. In the same toaster they use for gluten bread. I saw her die a little inside when she realized "They only have one toaster, don't they?" It was a bad night. Nice gesture but thoughtless all the same.
Yeah. That's why the shop had to refuse to sell any of the donuts she brought in that day. Even if all but the one were gluten-free they were all contaminated because of it. This isn't just unprofessional. It's dangerously neglectful at best and malicious at worst
these donuts could give me SO MUCH PAIN I'm heavily lactose intolerant (not only lactose but everything inside the milk) and extreme gluten allergies to the point I throw up and it feels like I've been poisoned
I have a non-celiac gluten intolerance that makes me very sick when I eat, trace amounts of gluten. This video is like my worst nightmare. there have been several times times where I go to restaurants and I’m told something is gluten-free but since they aren’t educated on what gluten actually is, they failed to mention that the meat is marinated in soy sauce or a cocktail ends up containing malt and I only find out when I am violently ill. Really feels like it should be a bigger part of the food handling in my opinion, allergies are very serious stuff, and for some people they are life and death.
Dammit now i want doughnuts

My mother ate a corner of a fork worth of canned tuna and immediately flared up, had to be sent to the hospital, injected because her throat was just closing up super quick and had to be on a special "plain" diet (white rice with garlic seasoning and salt, NOTHING else) for several weeks to detox her body. Allergies are no joke and sometimes even smelling the product can cause a flare up. This is disgusting. Sometimes there is literally no time between when you notice your allergies are acting up and losing your life because the ambulance wasnt quick enough.
Last year i developed a gluten allergy and shit like this is why i just hate the process of buying premade food. Ppl dont actually care if u have an allergy, they just see you as an inconvenience :/
This was literally the plot of steamed hams. Passing off a food chain as a family recipe. Incredible
I have celiacs. Having gluten accidentally even one time, is initially extremely painful and inconvenient, can also cause serious damage to my intenstines, that takes months to repair with an even more restrictive diet. I'd be livid.
yes my friend has celiac disease and is allergic to gluten if she just swallows a bite of gluten her throat will immediately close up and she has to have her epi pen near by at all times
She has coeliacs disease AND an allergy to gluten?? that's rough
Celiac is intestinal.

As someone with multiple severe food allergies, this PISSES ME OFF.
I’m allergic to eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, and shellfish, and due to all this I specifically look for vegan/plant based options due to it usually being a safer option. In fact, one of my favorite bakeries is a vegan bakery I travel an hour to patronize.
If I would’ve eaten one of those donuts Michelle tried to pass off as Vegan, it 100% would have killed me. I’m so glad that Cindy’s Snacks actually took this seriously, not just for the vegan community but for those with food allergies. As for Michelle, I hope she stubs her toe on everything she sees and then loses her business.
Celiac here ✌️ I have literal nightmares about getting “glutened” - many people who don’t have allergies are oblivious to how much of our day is consumed dealing with planning around allergies. To hear someone had a blatant disregard for safety, that’s infuriating. Also every time someone with Celiac ingests gluten, it does intestinal damage and we don’t absorb nutrients properly for months. Straight 👏 to 👏 jail 👏
If the Savory Fig person was smart she would have said that was a personal driver’s box that got mixed up with the shipment. But she’s not.
And the stuff she actually baked sucked.
Yeah, this is an incredibly dangerous thing Savory Fig did and I hope they get sued to oblivion 😡
I am Celiac and have DH.
If I ate any of those doughnuts, I would not only break out into hives, but I would be passed out next to the toilet from throwing up for hours. My intestines would form "hives" and I would be put at risk for developing literal cancer.
I've been there, done that, and I don't want to go through cancer treatment again because of some disgustingly lazy business owner.
Gluten-free stuff is usually more gritty and dense so to me those donuts looked too fluffy for that.
Each day the social media (especially Tik Tok) "news headlines" are becoming wilder & wilder😭
My son is celiac - he could get horribly sick from this - it infuriates me!!!
Celiac girly checking. It I were go eat this donut thinking it was gluten free it would have resulted in vomiting, horrible stomach cramps, and brain fog. It can take you out for a day or two. Not to mention the long-term effects. Each person is different with their symptoms. Not to mention this is clearly false advertisement.
Food tampering is a serious crime. If she thinks she's getting away with this, it ain't happening
My little brother has celiac disease. It is no joke. When he was in college, he had chili which was allegedly gluten free. It was not. He ended up sick for two days, unable to keep anything down, not even water. This woman should be ashamed of herself.
this person needs jailtime, i have celiac, this is not something that should be allowed to happen with no jail time. absolutely disgusting
The point isn’t just about allergies. People think if you choose a diet vs being forced into it for health reasons a mistake doesn’t matter as much. Well it matters all the same. People put food into their bodies and everyone has every right to know what they are eating. Period.
Ammy Robinson covered this and I had commented something on her video as well - I used to run a cottage home baking business for a bit (because of the nature of the products I made and the amount of sales, I didn't need to require licensing) and knew that there were very big requirements for catering to gluten free and allergy issues - to the point where often you need to use separate baking utensils and things to prevent cross contamination. It would be one thing to white label products but do so with accurate labeling, but that's not what was done. I myself don't have food allergies, but due to being immunocompromised, I have to be careful about food safety and also have to avoid certain foods due to their interactions with my medications. This is a very big issue that could have caused many people health issues and isn't just a "sticking it to vegans" thing and we shouldn't accept this kind of bad behavior.
My partner is vegan and when he was a year into it he accidentally ate non-vegan cheese (yes it’s a thing and it actually tastes pretty good, no I am not vegan myself) from some burger spot that had vegan cheese and meats on their menu. My partner was stuck in the bathroom for hours as a result, his body was no longer used to dairy and other animal food stuff and it triggered a lactose intolerant reaction and no he was not lactose intolerant before, most cheeses that you put on a burger don’t even do that to people either. Going vegan for a long while and then suddenly going back to a diverse diet of whatever can cause allergic reactions to it. It could have been dangerous for someone vegan to eat that doughnut
That’s awful! Some vegan cheeses are really good, and you can’t really tell the difference until you have a reaction.😢
this too. I’ve been vegan/vegetarian for decades but I recently re-started eating fish cos my new job’s cantine has no vegetarian food (I live in a country where no one cares about alternative diets unless you have allergies) and I’m currently not in a financial position to refuse free food. Even just with fish (I can’t stand the taste of meat) I’ve been so bloated! This person is a criminal.
Who remembers the og donut drama when Ariana Grande licked a donut and put it back?
I really like how you stopped and emphasized that the issue is one of life and death for some people not just about a fad diet. Well done 👏
What a delight to hear my name in your accent. 😊
As someone who has a brother with Celiac this is absolutely terrible. You have to go through so much effort to make sure things are actually gluten free because it’s super dangerous.
Its nice to see a business that cares so much about their customers! If I lived near them & needed allergy-free/vegan donuts, I would absolutely trust this place over any other & happily pay the difference if theirs were more expensive than other similar shops in the area. Love me some ethical capitalism!
I don't have ticktock, but hot damd do i love watching drama through you!
Also, i want a doughnut now.
Markie got Montauk right! Congrats bro🎉🎉🎉
Markie got me using UK slang. I’m out here in the Bronx talking about bloody hell mate! This is mental!
there's allergies, religious reasons, and just personal comfort. also a new eating disorder is emerging called ARFID. this could trigger someone. how is the provider so flippant about this ?!?!?
ARFID has been around for a long time, it’s not new. In 2013 it was put in the DSM-5 as an expansion to/replacement of the already listed “feeding disorder of infancy or early childhood”, effectively providing recognition for adults that had most likely carried the disorder from childhood.
This could seriously hurt someone!!!!!!!!!
I live in Suffolk County, Long Island. This I terrifying to me! I have celiac disease (a mild case, but I'm still gluten intolerant), and it's nightmare fuel like this that makes it almost impossible for me to go out to eat. I'm always afraid of something like this happening by accident; so for this woman to be running around doing it on purpose (allegedly), it's my nightmare!
A couple years back Dunkins was selling these DIY donut decorating kits which included those sprinkles. They came in these tiny plastic cups that looked like their iced coffee cups. I recognized the sprinkles right away upon the thumbnail. Definitely not the sprinkles she bought online.
Doughnut Drama lol
Bless you for spelling it 'doughnut'
I work in a school kitchen, and if something like this happened with one of the children, the whole school could get sued. Gluten and wheat are considered allergens by the USDA and food service companies must label their foods accordingly. If she's advertising vegan products and lying that is even worse since eggs and milk are also part of the Big Eight food allergies. People with milk and egg allergies may choose to go vegan simply to ensure they don't get an allergic reaction on accident. So yea, it's a big deal!
As someone with celiac disease I can truthfully say I sued a restaurant and won after I was given gluten. I really don’t feel like I need to explain every single detail but yes, I did tell them I had celiac disease yes, they were aware that it was an allergy. I was told there was no cross contamination. I was told that the product would be fully gluten-free, and I would be perfectly safe.
I’m not vegan I’m vegetarian but if someone gave me meat and said it was vegetarian my stomach would ligit drop I’ve not eaten meat since I was 12 n I’m almost 21 and it would fill me with so much guilt n effect me emotionally ppl don’t understand how it can effect people even if it’s not for diet reasons
I have celiac disease and a severe gluten allergy so this is my worst nightmare. People that don’t take allergies seriously are terrible, you could be responsible for hospitalization or even death
Both my son and I have anaphylactic reactions. This is so seriously dangerous and worrying
This makes me so angry. It isn't the first time that someone has done something like this. I remember a man selling loaves of "gluten free" bread at a farmers market every week and it was just regular bread. I have celiac disease. A regular donut would make me vomit within 20 minutes of eating it and cause sever stomach pain for days to follow. I also have a pretty long list of food allergies and am very careful not to consume those items. My sons have a friend with a severe egg allergy and another that can't have gluten. At every party, I let them know what is and is not safe to eat. I would be livid if I ever served a guest something that might hurt them, thinking that it was safe.
As someone with nut allergies I am sooooo scared to trust others with my food but I also feel like a burden for having this issue. When places promise me nut free food I trust it completely because it helps me avoid the embarrassment of having to be like "is this nut free? Do you clean all your equipment?" Seeing this though makes me so scared again. I wish there were ways to test it easily.
A lot of people sho choose to eat vegan at restaurants and stuff do so because of allergies, it's just easier than asking about every ingredient. So this is truly horrible.
Yeah, i work at a vegan restaurant/market and we get a lot of non-vegans with special dietary needs like dairy or egg allergies, or even just to buy specialty stuff like sugar alternatives that just aren't sold elsewhere.
I have coworkers with egg allergies and lactose intolerance, so when we all bring snacks for the break room, I learned how to bake vegan goodies. I even did my research and converted my brownie recipe to vegan. I double checked that no one had gluten issues, too. At least it’s not life-threatening-in that case I’d have brought something from a vegan bakery to avoid any cross-contamination.
as someone w an allergy that makes me hafta read labels to make sure i dont break out in hives, this is genuinely terrifyin. my allergy isnt as bad as others r(aka theres not a high chance i could die) but bc im allergic to pork, which is in p much almost EVERYTHING even alotve candies, ive still gotta be careful. hell ive gotta be careful w fastfood bc sometimes they use pork mixed w beef. i cant possibly imagine the terror id feel at findin out a company ive trusted to care for me was actually buyin stuff that im allergic to and sellin it to me. horrible ppl truly
I enjoy watching you! 😊 one of my top creators I watch! You're a great story teller 😊
As someone with a rare food allergy, I have to read all the labels of the food I eat. I have to ask when I go out to ensure what is in the food. For this lady to do this is madding! I hope she is stopped ASAP!
That donut has gluten. You can tell by the inside bubbles that gluten flour was used and how the donut crumbles very easily and consistently. Gluten free donuts have a very different consistency because the binding process of ingredients is very different. Gluten free donuts are generally more moist and don't have that consistent bubble blend.
What did she do
Go dumpster diving for the donuts? Or paid for their day Olds?
That's absolutely disgusting. I pray she is dealt with accordingly
I hope you keep covering this story as more info unfolds. This is the kind of drama I live for!
I am one of those unfortunate with a gluten allergy. If I have gluten it can mimic a burst appendix and I get rushed to ER just to figure out its an allergic reaction.
So I'm very glad that the company is taking it as seriously as they are
The fact is that people are expecting to not consume something and were lied to.
Dude, your accent is so wild 😂 I love listening to you talk. Thanks for keeping us informed of all the niche internet drama!
I have a friend who is allergic to chicken eggs, so she often gets for vegan options for pre-made foods as that is the only sure way to make to make sure premade foods don’t contain eggs. Even mayonnaise has some egg in it, so anything can be risky.
Mayo has a whole lot of egg in it. It’s egg and oil, that’s its only two ingredients >.>
I have severe gluten allergy. It makes me so sick that I pass out. I can't even imagine going and getting a donut before work, and then passing out at work or even shopping!! This makes me absolutely furious!!!
As an allergy sufferers, this could cause someone to actually lose their life! This is absolutely a concern to customers! My goodness! I thought oh... Here we go... Then watching it my heart dropped! I hope nobody was seriously adversely affected!
This is a serious business screw up. She could face serious lawsuits. As my family has a few member with food intolerance and allergies, one even needing to carry an epi pen. The consequences are high for a business to pass off products that claim to not have ingredients that clearly do. In the UK the foods need to be clearly labeled with all ingredients due to Natasha's law.
I have a dear older friend who has a gluten allergy. Eating a gluten donut would at the very least have her on the toilet for DAYS. You can't play with people's lives like this.
When I worked at pizza hut, I was told that we couldn't cut the gluten free pizzas anymore because some workers got careless and used pizza cutters cross-contaminated with non-gluten free dough, and because of that it ended in someones death.
As someone with severe food allergies, Covid was horrible. Places that I have gone for a decade that have safe, allergen free options suddenly changed their tune during the pandemic times and not only no longer offer safe options but also don’t seem to care an ounce about those of us that need accommodation. I wish I could say this surprises me, but the reality is that most of the people running these places don’t care anymore and wouldn’t care if I dropped dead in their parking lot from “safe” food they’ve just provided.
My godness i love the way you tell your stories
I have multiple training in allergy awareness and years of experience in hospitality as a chef barista and what not. I am also terrified of contaminating my food and drinks and etc with allergens or cross contamination. I am terrified of doing it ACCIDENTALLY let alone INTERNATIONALLY just wow
