MSNBC -- Health magazine recently named Panera Bread the healthiest restaurant in the fast food restaurant category in the country. In the March issue, Panera was praised for offering customers the choice of apples or baked chips as a side item, Panera’s You Pick Two® half-size soups, salads and sandwiches, and antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken options. The expert judging panel also recognized Panera’s children’s items including squeezable organic yogurt, PB&J (with all-natural peanut butter) and grilled organic cheese on white whole-grain bread.
