Panera Bread is phasing out Charged Lemonade, NBC News reported. The controversial line of caffeinated drinks was at the center of past wrongful death lawsuits filed against the chain. The beverages initially raised eyebrows in late 2022, when influencer Sarah Baus posted a video on TikTok garnering millions of views describing her experience of unknowingly drinking “four or five” highly-caffeinated lemonades. She told TODAY.com she “assumed it had a normal amount of caffeine.
” Panera adds it’s rolling out an “enhanced beverage portfolio” which includes a new Blueberry Lavender Lemonade, Citrus Punch and others. In October 2023, parents of 21-year-old Sarah Katz filed a lawsuit against Panera alleging their daughter died as a result of consuming the Charged Lemonade. Katz, who was a University of Pennsylvania student, died in September 2022. The suit noted she had a preexisting heart condition. A judge denied Panera’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
