Dunkin’ Drops Plant-Based Milk Upcharge

Dunkin' has made plant-based coffee drinks more accessible by removing the extra charge for plant-based milk at its over 9,500 locations in the US. This decision, made in consultation with Mercy For Animals, aligns Dunkin' with other major chains like Starbucks and Dutch Bros in promoting affordability and sustainability. The removal of the surcharge not only benefits those who cannot consume dairy due to lactose intolerance but also has a positive impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and resource usage.

By making plant-based milk a standard, cost-free option, Dunkin' not only encourages customers to make environmentally friendly choices but also promotes inclusivity and affordability. This move follows a growing trend in the coffee industry, with other chains like Starbucks, Dutch Bros, Gregorys Coffee, and Scooter’s Coffee also eliminating the upcharge for plant-based milk. Mercy For Animals encourages more chains to follow suit, emphasizing the importance of making plant-based options more accessible for both customers and the planet.
