I spoke to Rabbi Mehlman last week, as he provides the hechsher for the New York DD (that have a hechsher). He said that about 2-3 years ago DD changed their procedure. They now ship the donuts (and other stuff) partially baked to each franchisee and each franchisee must finish baking it. Rabbi Mehlman said that DD franchisees without a hechsher can bake their kosher and non-kosher items together.
(He said it was better under the older system, as far as kashrus, for reasons I didn’t quite understand. He also said some DD franchisees still use the older system, but there is no way to know which are which offhand.)
WorldWideJew: Any city that filters there water has the same effect regarding Shabbos use as if a person put an individual filter on their kitchen sink.
That being said, I am surprised to hear that most American cities filter their water. Are you sure? That might have serious halachic implications.
