Krispy Kreme bites back with lower calorie, whole wheat doughnut

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc., still recovering from the low-carb diet craze that starved the company's earnings, unveiled a whole wheat doughnut Monday.
The 100 per cent whole wheat doughnut — with only 180 calories — has a caramel flavouring and is covered with the doughnut maker's original glaze.
"The Krispy Kreme whole wheat glazed doughnut delivers the delicious taste that our customers have come to expect from us," said Stan Parker, senior vice-president of marketing at the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based company.
Krispy Kreme sales started slipping three years ago as the company expanded its operations during the height of the low-carbohydrate diet craze. Executives also had to sort out an accounting mess, with the company's board concluding two former executives were trying to "manage earnings" to meet Wall Street expectations.
While the stock once traded above $50 US, it fell to about $4 US during 2006. It opened trading Monday on the New York Stock Exchange at $10.98 US.
