Tadoughs

All of their regular donuts contain wheat flour (not just potato flour). Their "gluten free" donuts are fried in the same oil as their gluten donuts...so they are most definitely not gluten free.

I have loved these donuts since I was a kid growing up in Pekin In spite of the number of times the company has changed hands. I'm wondering though if the online ordering was a good move. I have stopped in multiple times as early as 7am only to find my favorites sold out already, probably because of online ordering. It's very disappointing 😞. Maybe they should make enough to fill the online orders first and then bake for the case? Just a thought....unless that's already how it's done and they still can't make enough?

TLDR: Fried in same fryer as gluten donuts so not actually gluten free.

Longer version: Someone purchased these donuts, which were labeled gluten free, but I called the store to ask some questions before eating one.

When I called, the woman I spoke to didn't even offer up the information about the fryer until I specifically asked. Before I asked, she was trying to sell me on coming to the store to buy some without any mention of cross contamination; she said that they had some on hand because their recipe makes over 2 dozen and only 1 dozen had been special ordered (the dozen that I'm glad I didn't partake in without asking questions first!).

So they are selling donuts labeled gluten free and not telling people that they're all cooked in the same oil as their gluten donuts. This is incredibly irresponsible, not to mention unkind to patrons who will get very sick.

Tadoughs has gluten free donuts (not on sundays). My dietitian said it’s the best GF donut she has had. She said it’s as close as you will get to the real thing.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
