Panera Bread Continues Pure Food Drive With Clean Bacon
Zacks Investment Research | Sep 22, 2016 08:46AM ET
Panera Bread Company (NASDAQ:PNRA) is leaving no stone unturned to fulfill its pledge of prohibiting an extensive list of additives from its menu by the end of this year.
The company has taken another step in this direction by announcing that it will be serving only clean bacon on its sandwiches and salads, free from artificial preservatives, flavors, sweeteners and colors, as barred by the company's so-called "No No List" of ingredients.
Panera will also source its bacon from pigs that comply with its animal welfare standards for reduced confinement and antibiotics. Panera's clean bacon will be made with only six ingredients – pork, water, sea salt, sugar, celery powder and thyme extract.
In 2015, Panera served 2 million pounds, or over 115 million slices, of bacon. Notably, the company had spent the past year working with suppliers to get rid of artificial nitrates and preservatives from bacon.
