Au Bon Pain to eliminate trans fats

Au Bon Pain, a Boston-based bakery chain with more than 200 locations, is eliminating trans fats from its products.

Currently, 95 percent of its menu items contain zero grams of trans fats, the company said today; by the end of summer, any remaining items made with trans fats will be replaced by items with no trans fats.

Au Bon Pain also unveiled an updated website that includes a ‘‘Smart Menu’’ feature. Visitors can search for foods that fit their dietary needs, build an Au Bon Pain meal, and view nutritional information for their food choices.
