Panera food-safety records

Read the exact product, café and event before drawing a conclusion.

Product recalls concern specified products, lots and distribution. Café inspections describe conditions recorded at one location on a particular date. Neither creates a chain-wide safety rating. Missing records do not mean a café was never inspected.

Café inspections and subsequent visits

3,633 published inspection records and date/type groups across New York City, Chicago, New York State, King County, Los Angeles County, Boston, Southern Nevada, Austin Public Health, historical San Francisco records and Florida DBPR records redistributed by Eat Safely In Florida. The state dataset describes active permitted operations and does not cover every New York authority. King County’s captured dataset says it is current through September 1, 2026. LA County’s export covers July 2023–June 2026 and excludes Pasadena, Long Beach and Vernon. Southern Nevada supplies inspection summaries and violation-code descriptions; Boston includes individual inspector comments. Austin’s three-year export supplies scores and visit types, without individual finding text. San Francisco contributes four historical records from its 2016–2019 dataset; these are not current café ratings. Florida contributes 1,498 inspection visits and their published severity counts; 1,780 finding narratives were captured before repeated server errors stopped the findings export. Missing narrative text must not be read as zero violations.
