The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a complaint investigation regarding what appeared to be raw chicken served with chicken tortelini alfredo. Panera does not cook raw chicken in the kitchen. The chicken is received cooked from the supplier. Observed a package of the cooked pulled chicken thawing. The chicken did have a light pink color, but the chicken is cooked at 400F, and it is the smoking process that gives the meat the color. The manager trained the staff about the concern and the cooking process for the cooked pulled chicken. Complaint could not be confirmed based on today's observations.
