    Please Note: A Panera Bread spokesperson has recently said that they are phasing out their Charged Lemonade drinks after the deaths we mentioned in the video and other lawsuits have started pertaining to the highly caffeinated drinks.

    So they wanted to be transparent to their customers but when an employee shows them how the mac n cheese is made, they get fired. Sounds exactly like every other company out there with their ' safety first ' policies. 😂😂

    I was a baker for this company for a couple years. What this video says is true about the soups: they come frozen in bags and are heated up in a hot water bath. Done safely, this is fine. And at the time, they tasted good. I loved the mushroom, which I'm sure they no longer carry (along with many, many other great things that were discontinued, but I digress).
    Food safely and cleanliness are not always something that's enforced when you have a constant revolving door of low paid employees who really don't care. The soups at the end of the day would be put in a sink with ice and cold water and left to cool while the employees closed, eventually to be put into the fridge before they left, to be reheated in the hot water bath and served again the next day. Often, the baker would find them after the day workers forgot about them and left, and we'd would put them in the walk in, but more often we'd toss them since they were found they'd been floating in tepid water, still warm to the touch, for who knows how long.
    Off topic: this will be the last Mashed video I watch as I can't stand another moment of this woman's annoying, trendy "Vocal Fry". Holy crap, that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

      As someone who was about to become manager at my local store, I concur about everything. Apart from the end of the soups. My store would make sure the soups were already chilled to the touch and iced down before the daily/nightly workers wheeled them into the walk-in fridge ourselves before we left. If any overnight bakers saw the soups, it was because they came in early enough before we iced them into the soup bin and put them into the fridge overnight. But yeah, most things come prepackaged and frozen, like any fast food place.
      Although I HATED cleaning the lemonade and tea dispensers. Absolutely HATED that chore, but as someone employed there, I still did my job, as did everyone in my shop, or they wouldn’t work there anymore. We still did those, 6 in total, one side (3) a day, the other (3) side the next, and so on, and so on.
      Now, as a normally intelligent person, if you’re caffeine sensitive, and read ‘charged lemonade’ and still guzzle 3 large cups, and have an episode, you don’t get to sue. That’s your fault, learn to read. I swear, people used to have some common sense. I hate the world these recent years.

      @@Khaleesi_Jack Before I started my bake, I asked for a huge cup of plain iced tea. It's what got me through the night (this was before they had "charged" lemonade). You could tell when the dispenser hadn't been cleaned recently, you could practically chew the stuff!
      And I couldn't agree with you more. Common sense is a rare commodity these days.

    Since they got rid of the 'warm bowls', which were excellent , the recent menu change has become very unfriendly towards gluten free diets. I'm done there.

    My biggest issue with Panera: most things aren't made from scratch, but rather simply heated up. That works for fast food, but not so much with fast casual. I enjoy their caffeine lemonades and that's it. I'd rather give businesses my money that actually make things from scratch, even if that means paying more.

    Newly introduced sandwiches are horrible. They really screwed up on the revised chicken barbeque sandwich now and some really chewy roll with less ingredients. So I no longer order it but it's sad because it was very good. It's not the healthiest place to eat anymore😢
