Food Safety Report - Dunkin donuts, Vestavia Hills Alabama

1284 Montgomery Highway, Vestavia Hills, 35216 Alabama, United States

Went to there’ in the morning of 4/21/22, around 9am, and ordered a coffee with cream, and glazed/powdered Munchkins. my mom ordered the same donuts and an iced tea. The tea tasted bitter, like it had been dredged up from an old thermace. It was clear it was OLD tea, like from more than one day ago. The Munchkins were FOSSILIZED, and it looked like the employees had pinched/crushed half of them. The glazed donuts tasted like a Gusher in terms of consistency. They were stale and my instincts told me these were not fit for sale. The coffee had a rancid aftertaste, I think it was older than the tea. Anyway, I made them return the tea since I didn’t understand how awful the donuts and coffee was yet and it was a busy line. The employee was RUDE and sassed me by saying, “you don’t like my tea?”

Anyways, around lunchtime, my mom and I started feeling super nauseous. We haven’t vomited yet, but I am personally super lightheaded and HOT and nauseous, I’ve been taking Tums and drinking water but it feels like it’s getting worse. I’ve not eaten anything else today and I can’t help but think my gross breakfast is what started it.
I ate more than my mother so I’m not surprised she isn’t feeling as unwell as I am, but this is the first time I’ve had their’ experience this bad.

Update: 04/22 Over the next 12 hours since I reported, I felt like I had a low fever all day. Chills, muscle aches, abdomen pain and stomach aches, I was constantly thirsty and drank 8 water bottles and still didn’t feel like that helped. I was able to sip on a Gatorade at night, but at night the nausea had dwindled slightly but the fever felt worse. I think it broke this morning, as I still have no appetite and a queasy stomach, but I feel slightly more like myself. My mom had mild nausea but didn’t feel as bad as I did, but I ate and drank way more than she did, I think she only had a bite or two.

update 2: sicker now, started vomiting. I can’t keep down any food. I’m out of town so I can’t test my temperature but I think I have a low fever. I am hot and can’t seem to cool down | Symptoms: Nausea, Lightheaded
