<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Several weeks (months??) ago, I requested some detailed info from Panera Bread about their menu items. It's been so long, that I forgot I had written them! I finally got a reply from them - although they still haven't answered my specific questions. :) It's worth noting that the change to their web site she mentions below is quite significant. They list all ingredients for items on thier menu - and if it contains gluten they will say so! Go to: http://www.panerabread.com/ Click on Menu Nutrition (it's on the left hand side - *very* hard to read) Select a category of food - most of their gf menu items are under Soups, Salads, or Beverages. Select a menu item. A pop up window will appear with nutritional info like calories and fat -- Also a complete list of ingredients.
