Local Paneras to post calorie counts by fall

By Mark Fisher | Monday, March 15, 2010, 07:08 AM

Panera Bread restaurants are gearing up to become the first nationwide chain to voluntarily post calorie information for all of its menu items in its restaurants.

Dayton-area customers will have a wait a bit longer than Panera diners in many other cities to peruse posted calorie counts, however.

This Associated Press story reports that calorie counts will be posted by March 24 at all 585 company-owned stores, but the Dayton-area Panera restaurants are franchise-owned. Judy Ketner-Dollison, Columbus-based marketing director for Panera Bread/Breads of the World franchisee for the Miami Valley’s Paneras, said all Dayton-area Panera Bread locations will be posting calorie information “by early fall, approximately September.”

Some restaurant industry officials have opposed requirements to post calorie counts, but some cities have approved laws mandating such postings, and proposals to do so are pending in city and state legislative bodies.
