Earlier this year, Panera announced it was transforming its menu in an effort to focus on innovating the core Panera items.
The new menu, which launched April 4 centers around a number of dishes including soups, salads, sandwiches, and macaroni and cheese.
But that overhaul comes at a price. According to Eat This, Not That, Panera has discontinued more than 40 items, including the blueberry scone and three flatbreads.
“Our new menu is refocused on our core offerings with the goal of adding more options, more innovation, and more value within the categories our guests love the most – soup, salad, sandwiches, and mac & cheese. The menu offers more new salads and sandwiches, better value with more new options below $10, and more in every bite with additional chicken and steak on many menu items,” Panera told Eat This, Not That in a statement.
Here’s the full list of discontinued menu items, according to Eat This, Not That:
