Thank goodness there is a wide variety of choices in food desserts. But I have never seen a nutritional label at a donut shop.

In case you're not being facetious (hard to tell over the Internet and all), food deserts is a term referring to "an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food".

Additionally, the FDA now requires nutritional and allergen info to be provided for restaurants, though it is sufficient to make them available online.

Here's a direct link to the doughnut store Krispy Kreme's nutritional facts for their Original GlazedĀ® doughnut.

Or Dunkin' Donut's nutritional facts:

and allergen info:

FDA's fact sheet about this:

to be clear, I didn't notice the missing s. feel free to downvote.
Do you think less information is better than more information in this case?
