The video shows large cardboard boxes printed with the word “donuts” across them.
In the video, TikTok user Alexander (@alexander_rexx) appears to be filming from a back stock area or freezer in the store.
“Walmart donuts are not fresh. They order plain yeast donuts in bulk and stores them in freezers,” Alexander said.
As Alexander approaches the boxes, one of which is open, viewers can see that the box is full of plain frozen donuts.
They added that when the sales floor starts to run out of donuts, instead of making fresh batter, an associate grabs a donut box, warms them up, and glazes them.
People in the comment section were mostly nonchalant about the revelation, sharing that they were not surprised and accepted it as a common practice. “Most grocery store donuts come in frozen,” a top comment read.
