"A good tuna sandwich has to taste bright, fresh, and tangy and have a good balance of ingredients and textures. It should never taste old, mushy, or under-seasoned. Unfortunately, the Panera tuna salad is mostly just plain boring. According to the website, the standard tuna sandwich is made from tuna salad on country rustic sourdough bread with mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, and salt and pepper. We found it to be uninspiring and forgettable."
"Panera Bread announced its biggest menu change in history in February 2024, with the company changing the recipe for its tuna sandwich and several other menu staples and retiring some of its other beloved favorites, like its Napa Almond Chicken Salad sandwich. On Facebook, the company said, "If you enjoyed the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, we think you'll love our Tuna Salad Sandwich or the Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt." Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case for most customers."
Panera changed its tuna sandwich recipe in February 2024, replacing onion and pickles with bread crumbs and vinegar and retiring the Napa Almond Chicken Salad. The standard sandwich contains tuna salad on country rustic sourdough with mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Evaluators found the tuna sandwich bland, uninspiring, and forgettable, lacking bright, fresh, and tangy flavors. Many customers report the new recipe tastes preserved rather than fresh. Pricing around $10 or more makes the sandwich a poor value compared with homemade alternatives. Customer reviews for the new tuna sandwich are mixed but trend negative.
