• Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sandwich & Creamy Tomato Soup.
• Tuna Sandwich & Creamy Tomato Soup.

"At Panera, we strive to serve delicious, high-quality food with an emphasis on value for our guests, and the new Value Duets allow us to further deliver on that goal," said Eduardo Luz, chief brand & concept officer, Panera Bread. "Besides delivering great value for money, Panera's Value Duets also enable guests to explore our menu by choosing different pairings - therefore the name 'Duets' -  each time they visit our bakery-cafes. Our guests can expect even more of their Panera favorites to join the Value Duets lineup later this year."

As with the entire Panera U.S. food menu, Value Duets are made without artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors or colors, delivering on Panera's commitment to Clean eating.
