Planning a nutritious meal at Panera Bread® will be easier than ever now that calorie information is available on the menu boards in all Quad Cities bakery-cafes.

Panera Bread announced in March of this year that it would post calorie information in all its bakery-cafes nationwide by the end of the year, making it the first national concept to voluntarily post calorie information on menu boards.  The rollout began earlier this year and continues throughout the Quad Cities on September 15^.

Panera is a nutrition pioneer among fast-casual restaurants. Because of its dedication to empowering and educating consumers, Panera is a step ahead of the industry as the FDA continues to finalize the federal menu-labeling law. In fact, last year Health magazine named Panera Bread as the healthiest restaurant in the country for eating on the go.
