Cool Food Meals at Panera Bread

June 2021

Cool Food Meals are approved by the World Resources Institute (WRI) as having a low impact on the climate, making them a delicious way to help the planet.

Using a dish’s ingredients list, WRI calculates the dish’s carbon footprint by analyzing the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) created through the agricultural supply chain and land used to produce the meal. If the dish's carbon footprint meets an established per-meal GHG threshold and the dish is within nutritional safeguards, the dish is certified as a Cool Food Meal.

WRI established the maximum recommended daily carbon footprint for a person’s diet, which is 38% smaller than the current average. This is in line with what WRI research has found is needed by 2030 to help avoid the worst impacts of climate change. This carbon footprint is then split across meals in a day. A breakfast’s carbon footprint must be no more than 20% of the recommended daily carbon footprint of a person’s diet (measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent or CO2e), and a lunch or dinner no more than 30%. The remaining 20% is an allowance for drinks and between-meal snacks. This means a breakfast entrée must be below 3.59 kg CO2e/portion and a lunch or dinner entrée must be below 5.38 kg CO2e/portion to be a Cool Food Meal.

The lists below reflect Panera’s menu, including seasonal menu items. For a list of current offerings, view our menu in our app or at panerabread.com.
