With the news that Panera will remove from its menu Charged Sips drinks, which have an exceedingly high caffeine content often above typical energy drinks but were not labeled as such, our hearts are with the family and friends of 21-year-old Sarah Katz, who was lost to #SCA in 2022 after drinking Panera's Charged Lemonade. Panera's online menu now includes "caffeine sensitivity" language.
