Florida Couple To Sue Dunkin’ Donuts After Buying Bloody Doughnuts
In Hollywood, FL, a couple is now pursuing a possible lawsuit after they claim their local Dunkin’ Donuts sold them bloody doughnuts.
Additionally, Magela and Rodrigo Esquival say upon picking up their evening snack in the drive thru, Magela said she noticed the employee’s hand was wrapped in a napkin as she handed their food through the window.

She adds, “I didn’t think anything of it. Then, I get a napkin and see a red stain on it and I’m like, ‘What is that?’ I’m like, ‘That is not jelly. I grabbed the bag because it had the rest of the napkins and I see another red stain on the bag and I’m like, ‘Hold on.’ So we pulled off to the side of the road and I’m like, ‘This is blood. This is not jelly.'”
Pulling back up to the drive thru, the same employee served them. Magela told them, “My doughnut was all full of blood. My napkin and my bag is all full of blood.” The employee told her, “I’ll give you another doughnut,” Magela responded, “No, I don’t want another doughnut! I ate half of it with blood that I don’t know what you may have.”
Sharing his concern with Local 10 News, Rodrigo said, “What if we are infected with HIV, hepatitis, anything. I am very worried about our long-term health.” And Magela said, “My peace of mind is going to come a year from now when I’m cleared completely by the doctor.”

While the location the couple went to wasn’t corporately-owned, the franchisee stepped in to address the incident, but only after news channels reached out for comments.
Furthermore, Michelle King, Senior Director of Global Public Relations at Dunkin’ Brands Group, Inc., shared, “The franchisee who owns and operates this location informed us that upon learning of the incident, he reiterated the proper food safety and quality standards protocol with the crew member, and reached out to the guest to resolve the matter and apologize for the negative experience.”
