Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Flowers Foods, Inc. (the “company”, “Flowers Foods”, “Flowers”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) have been prepared by the company’s management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 30, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K. ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The company believes the following critical accounting estimates affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements: revenue recognition, derivative instruments, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, self-insurance reserves, income tax expense and accruals, pension obligations, stock-based compensation, and commitments and contingencies. These estimates are summarized in the Form 10-K. REPORTING PERIODS — The company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal 2018 consists of 52 weeks, with the company’s quarterly reporting periods as follows: first quarter ended April 21, 2018 (sixteen weeks), second quarter ended July 14, 2018 (twelve weeks), third quarter ending October 6, 2018 (twelve weeks) and fourth quarter ending December 29, 2018 (twelve weeks). SEGMENTS — Flowers Foods currently operates two business segments: a direct-store-delivery (“DSD”) segment (“DSD Segment”) and a warehouse delivery segment (“Warehouse Segment”). The DSD Segment (84% of total year to date sales) currently operates 39 plants that produce a wide variety of fresh bakery foods, including fresh breads, buns, rolls, tortillas, and snack cakes. These products are sold through a DSD route delivery system to retail and foodservice customers in the East, South, Southwest, California, and select markets in the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, Nevada, and Colorado. The Warehouse Segment (16% of total year to date sales) currently operates eight plants that produce snack cakes, breads and rolls for national retail, foodservice, vending, and co-pack customers and deliver through customers’ warehouse channels. On May 3, 2017, the company announced an enhanced organizational structure designed to provide greater focus on the company’s strategic objectives, emphasize brand growth and innovation in line with a national branded food company, drive enhanced accountability, reduce costs, and strengthen long-term strategy. The new organizational structure establishes two business units (“BUs”), Fresh Packaged Bread and Snacking/Specialty, and realigns key leadership roles. The new structure also provides for centralized marketing, sales, supply chain, shared-services/administrative, and corporate strategy functions, each with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. The company intends to transition to the new structure over the next several months with full implementation expected to be completed at the beginning of fiscal 2019. Management will continue to review financial information for the DSD Segment and Warehouse Segment until the new organizational structure is fully implemented. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER — Following is the effect that our largest customer, Walmart/Sam’s Club, had on the company’s sales for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017. Walmart/Sam’s Club is the only customer to account for greater than 10% of the company’s sales. For the Twelve Weeks Ended For the Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 (% of Sales) (% of Sales) DSD Segment 18.4 18.3 17.9 17.7 Warehouse Segment 2.4 2.3 2.4 2.4 Total 20.8 20.6 20.3 20.1 Walmart/Sam’s Club is our only customer with a balance greater than 10% of outstanding trade receivables. Its percentage of trade receivables was 19.5% and 17.5%, on a consolidated basis, as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the company’s outstanding trade receivables. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Form 10-K are presented below. The policy changes for revenue, derivative financial instruments, and taxes are a result of adopting new guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) during the first quarter of our fiscal 2018. See Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements Revenue . Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The company records both direct and estimated reductions to gross revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings at the time the incentive is offered or at the time of revenue recognition for the underlying transaction that results in progress by the customer towards earning the incentive. These allowances include price promotion discounts, coupons, customer rebates, cooperative advertising, and product returns. Consideration payable to a customer is recognized at the time control transfers and is a reduction to revenue. The recognition of costs for promotion programs involves the use of judgment related to performance and redemption estimates. Estimates are made based on historical experience and other factors. Price promotion discount expense is recorded as a reduction to gross sales when the discounted product is sold to the customer. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in our selling, distribution, and administration expenses line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The company’s production facilities deliver products to independent distributor partners (“IDP” or “IDPs”), who sell and deliver those products to outlets of retail accounts that are within the IDPs’ defined geographic territory. The IDPs sell products using either scan-based trading (“SBT”) technology, authorized charge tickets, or cash sales. SBT technology allows the retailer to take ownership of our products when the consumer purchases the products rather than at the time they are delivered to the retailer. Control of the inventory does not transfer upon delivery to the retailer because the company controls the risks and rights until the product is scanned at the reseller’s register. Each of the company’s products is considered distinct because the resellers expect each item to be a performance obligation. The company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when the end consumer purchases the product because each product is considered a separate performance obligation. Consequently, revenue is recognized at a point in time for each scanned item. The company has concluded that we are the principal. SBT is utilized primarily in certain national and regional retail accounts (“SBT Outlet”). Generally, revenue is not recognized by the company upon delivery of our products by the company to the IDP or upon delivery of our products by the IDP to a SBT Outlet, but when our products are purchased by the end consumer. Product inventory in the SBT Outlet is reflected as inventory on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The IDP performs a physical inventory of products at each SBT Outlet weekly and reports the results to the company. The inventory data submitted by the IDP for each SBT Outlet is compared with the product delivery data. Product delivered to a SBT Outlet that is not recorded in the product delivery data has been purchased by the consumer/customer of the SBT Outlet and is recorded as sales revenue by the company. Non-SBT sales are classified as either authorized charged sales or cash sales. The company provides marketing support to the IDP for authorized charged sales, but does not provide marketing support to the IDP for cash sales. Marketing support includes providing a dedicated account representative, resolving complaints, and accepting responsibility for product quality which collectively define how to manage the relationship. Revenue is recognized at a point in time for non-SBT sales. The company retains inventory risk, establishes negotiated special pricing, and fulfills the contractual obligations for authorized charged sales. The company is the principal, the IDP is the agent, and the reseller is the customer. Revenue is recognized for authorized charge sales when the product is delivered to the customer because the company has satisfied its performance obligations. Cash sales occur when the IDP is the end customer. The IDP maintains accounts receivable, inventory and fulfillment risk for cash sales. The IDP also controls pricing for the resale of cash sale products. The company is the principal and the IDP is the customer, and an agent relationship does not exist. The discount paid to the IDP for cash sales is recorded as a reduction to revenue. Revenue is recognized for cash sales when the company’s products are delivered to the IDP because the company has satisfied its performance obligations. Sales in the Warehouse Segment are under contracts and include a formal ordering system. Orders are placed primarily using purchase orders (“PO”) or electronic data interchange information. Each PO, together with the applicable master supply agreement, is determined to be a separate contract. Product is delivered via contract carriers engaged by either the company or the customer with shipping terms provided in the PO. Each unit sold, for all product categories, is a separate performance obligation. Each unit is considered distinct because the customer can benefit from each unit by selling each one separately to the end consumer. Additionally, each unit is separately identifiable in the PO. Products are delivered either freight-on-board (“FOB”) shipping or destination. The company’s right to payment is at the time our products are obtained from our warehouse for FOB shipping deliveries. The right to payment for FOB destination deliveries occurs after the products are delivered to the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers. The company pays commissions to brokers who obtain contracts with customers. Commissions are paid on the total value of the contract, which is determined at contract inception and is based on expected future activity. Broker commissions will not extend beyond a one-year term because each product is considered a separate order in the PO. The company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in our selling, distribution, and administrative expenses line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The company disaggregates revenue by sales channel for each reportable segment. Our sales channels are branded retail, store branded retail, and non-retail and other. The non-retail and other channel includes foodservice, restaurants, and contract manufacturing. The company does not disaggregate revenue by geographic region, customer type, or contract type. All revenues are recognized at a point in time. The disclosures for segment revenues by sales channel are in Note 20, Segment Reporting Derivative Financial Instruments . New guidance updates the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide investors with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments and related hedged items, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and related hedged items, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments and related hedged items, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments and related hedged items. As required, the company records all derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedged item with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the company elects not to apply hedge accounting. Income taxes . The company releases the income tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the period when the underlying transaction impacts earnings. We adopted new accounting requirements that provide the option to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) from AOCI to retained earnings. We elected to reclassify the stranded income tax effects resulting from the Act of $18.8 million from AOCI to retained earnings. This reclassification consists of deferred taxes originally recorded in AOCI that exceed the newly enacted federal corporate tax rate. LOSS ON INFERIOR INGREDIENTS In June 2018, the company received from a supplier several shipments of inferior yeast, which reduced product quality and disrupted production and distribution of foodservice and retail bread and buns at a number of the company’s bakeries for several days during the quarter. While the supplier confirmed that the inferior yeast used in the baking process was safe for consumption, customers and consumers reported instances of unsatisfactory product attributes, primarily involving smell and taste. Costs associated with the inferior yeast were reclassified from material, supplies, labor and other production costs and selling, distribution and administrative expenses to the ‘Loss on inferior ingredients’ line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The currently identifiable and measurable costs reclassified during the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018 in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these production and distribution disruptions were as follows (amounts in thousands and recognized in the DSD Segment): Costs by line item Materials, supplies, labor and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately) $ 3,180 Selling, distribution and administrative expenses 704 Loss on inferior ingredients $ 3,884 Although we anticipate incurring additional losses associated with the disruption, we are not currently able to estimate the amount of such losses. We intend to seek recovery of all losses through appropriate means.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance for recognizing revenue in contracts with customers. This guidance requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. There are five steps outlined in the guidance to achieve this core principle. This guidance was adopted on December 31, 2017, the first day of our fiscal 2018. The company applied the guidance at adoption on the modified retrospective transition method. This guidance was applied to all contracts not completed at the adoption date. Basis of Presentation In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statements of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on December 31, 2017, the first day of our fiscal 2018, and it did not impact the prior or current period presentation. In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance was adopted on December 31, 2017, the first day of our fiscal 2018. In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires all employers to separately present the service cost component from the other pension and postretirement benefit cost components in the income statements. Service cost will now be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income or capitalized in assets, as appropriate. The other components reported in the income statements will be reported separate from the service cost and outside of income from operations. This guidance was adopted on December 31, 2017, the first day of our fiscal 2018. For the Twelve Weeks Ended Previously Filed Post-adoption July 15, 2017 July 15, 2017 Materials, supplies, labor and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately) $ 468,152 $ 468,246 Selling, distribution and administrative expenses $ 354,193 $ 355,542 Income from operations $ 70,166 $ 68,723 Other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits credit $ — $ (1,443 ) For the Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended Previously Filed Post-adoption July 15, 2017 July 15, 2017 Materials, supplies, labor and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately) $ 1,076,093 $ 1,076,314 Selling, distribution and administrative expenses $ 815,463 $ 818,608 Income from operations $ 170,291 $ 166,925 Other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits credit $ — $ (3,366 ) In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice for changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. This guidance clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. This guidance was adopted on December 31, 2017, the first day of our fiscal 2018. In August 2017, the FASB amended the guidance for hedge accounting. This guidance makes more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes the requirements for companies to separately measure ineffectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging activities. We elected to early adopt t his guidance as of December 31, 2017, the first day of our fiscal 2018. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance to allow a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Act. We Impacted Line Item (Dr (Cr)) Retained Earnings AOCI Pension and postretirement plans (17,097 ) 17,097 Hedged financial instruments (1,709 ) 1,709 Total reclassification of stranded income tax effects to retained earnings from AOCI $ (18,806 ) $ 18,806 Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires an entity to recognize lease liabilities and a right-of-use asset for virtually all leases (other than those that meet the definition of a short-term lease) on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about the entity’s leasing arrangements. Additional updates to the guidance were issued in July 2018. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods, with earlier adoption permitted. This guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial adoption, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. The company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The company intends to choose the option to apply the transition relief provisions of the new standard at our adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As a result, the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the period of adoption will be in accordance of current GAAP. We have selected a new software tool to track our leases and are currently in the abstraction stage. This process began in our first quarter of fiscal 2018 and is anticipated to be complete in the second half of fiscal 2018. The company expects a significant impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements because of this guidance. The company currently has significant operating leases with our fiscal 2017 lease expense totaling $95.0 million. In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Companies will still have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance will be applied prospectively. Companies are required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure shall be provided in the first annual reporting period and in the interim period within the first annual reporting period when the company adopts this guidance. This change to the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted after January 1, 2017. The company is currently evaluating when this guidance will be adopted and the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that either they are not applicable to our business or no material effect is expected upon future adoption.

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Activities	4. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES On August 10, 2016, we announced the launch of Project Centennial, a comprehensive business and operational review. We identified opportunities to enhance revenue growth, streamline operations, improve efficiencies, and make investments that strengthen our competitive position and improve margins over the long term. We began Project Centennial with an evaluation of our brands, product mix, and organizational structure. We then developed strategic priorities to help us capitalize on retail and consumer changes. The primary objective is to improve margins and profitably grow the top-line over time. These priorities are as follows: Reduce costs to fuel growth . The company is focusing on reducing costs in our purchased goods and services initiative and our supply chain optimization plan. Purchased goods and services operations will be centralized to create standardization, continuously improve, and develop consistent policies and specifications. Supply chain optimization intends to reduce operational complexity and capitalize on scale. This initiative includes, and will continue to include, consulting and other third-party costs as we finalize the organizational structure. We incurred $2.2 million and $8.6 million for these non-restructuring consulting costs during the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017, respectively. Develop leading capabilities . As of July 14, 2018, we report our financial results in either the DSD Segment or the Warehouse Segment. On May 3, 2017, the company announced an enhanced organizational structure designed to provide greater focus on the company’s strategic objectives, emphasize brand growth and innovation in line with a national branded food company, drive enhanced accountability, reduce costs, and strengthen our long-term strategy. The new organizational structure established two BUs, Fresh Packaged Bread and Snacking/Specialty. The new structure also provided for centralized marketing, sales, supply chain, shared-services/administrative, and corporate strategy functions, each with more clearly defined roles and responsibilities. On July 2, 2018, the company announced the creation of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) position which continued refinements to the organizational structure. This role will be responsible for executing the company’s strategies under Project Centennial , as well as overseeing the BUs, supply chain, sales, corporate strategy and ventures, and communications. The company intends to transition to the new structure over the next several months with full implementation expected to be completed at the beginning of fiscal 2019. We began relocating certain employees during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 as we transition to the new structure. Reorganization costs of $2.3 million for relocating employees were incurred during the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and recognized in the restructuring charges line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We anticipate incurring additional reorganization costs as we continue implementing the new structure. The current DSD and warehouse segmentation will remain until the new structure is in place. On July 17, 2017, the company commenced a voluntary employee separation incentive plan (the “VSIP”). The VSIP was implemented as part of our effort to restructure, streamline operations, and better position the company for profitable growth. The VSIP election period closed on September 25, 2017 and resulted in approximately 325 employees accepting the offer. The separations began on September 7, 2017, and were substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2017. We recorded an aggregate charge of $29.7 million in fiscal 2017 for the VSIP and a credit of $0.6 million during the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018. These charges consist primarily of employee severance and benefits-related costs and are recorded in the restructuring charges line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Reinvigorate core business . This objective is to invest in our brands to align brands to consumers to maximize our return on investment. We expect to incur significant incremental marketing costs annually for brand development. These costs will not be restructuring and will be recognized as incurred. Project Centennial also included a brand rationalization study to identify high-potential and established brands to focus on innovation and cash flow, respectively. The study, which concluded in our third quarter of fiscal 2017, changed the outlook for several brands and resulted in the recognition of an impairment on certain of these finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets in our third quarter of fiscal 2017. The total intangible asset impairment charges, which were recorded in the restructuring charges line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were $66.2 million. Project Centennial is expected to be completed by our fiscal 2021. On August 9, 2017, the company announced the closure of a Warehouse Segment snack cake plant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The bakery closed in November 2017. The closure costs were $4.4 million and consisted of $3.4 million for property, plant and equipment impairments and $1.0 million for employee termination benefits. These amounts are recorded in the restructuring and related impairment charges line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The company continues to explore additional opportunities to streamline our core operations, but as of July 14, 2018, we cannot estimate the additional costs to be incurred for this initiative. Capitalize on product adjacencies . This initiative will focus on growing share in underdeveloped markets. Adjacencies are geographic and/or product categories that will allow us to leverage our competitive advantages. This can be done either organically with our high-potential brands or through strategic acquisitions. As of July 14, 2018, we cannot estimate the costs to be incurred for this initiative. See Note 20, Segment Reporting For the Twelve Weeks Ended For the Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended July 14, 2018 July 14, 2018 Restructuring and related impairment charges: Reorganization costs $ 801 $ 2,313 VSIP — (597 ) Employee termination benefits — 344 Restructuring and related impairment charges (1) 801 2,060 Project Centennial implementation costs (2) 2,215 8,647 Total Project Centennial restructuring and implementation costs $ 3,016 $ 10,707 (1) Presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Divestiture	5. DIVESTITURE On January 14, 2017, the company completed the sale of a non-core mix manufacturing business located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for $44.0 million, an amount reduced by a working capital adjustment of $2.8 million, resulting in net proceeds of $41.2 million. This resulted in a gain on sale of $28.9 million, which was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The gain on the sale is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the ‘Gain on divestiture’ line item. The mix manufacturing business was a small component of our Warehouse Segment and the disposal of this business does not represent a strategic shift in the segment’s operations or financial results.

These trademarks are classified as indefinite-lived because we believe they are well established brands, many older than forty years old, with a long history and well defined markets. In addition, we are continuing to use these brands both in their original markets and throughout our expansion territories. We believe these factors support an indefinite-life. We perform an annual impairment analysis, or on an interim basis if the facts and circumstances change, to determine if the trademarks are realizing their expected economic benefits.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. Notes receivable are entered into in connection with the purchase of independent distributors’ distribution rights by IDPs. These notes receivable are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value, which represents the closest approximation of fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As a result, the appropriate interest rate that should be used to estimate the fair value of the distributor notes receivable is the prevailing market rate at which similar loans would be made to IDPs with similar credit ratings and for the same maturities. However, the company financed approximately 4,350 and 4,000 IDPs’ distribution rights as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, all with varied financial histories and credit risks. Considering the diversity of credit risks among the IDPs, the company has no method to accurately determine a market interest rate to apply to the notes. The distribution rights are generally purchased by the IDP with a 5% down payment with the remainder financed for up to ten years. The distributor notes receivable are collateralized by the IDPs’ distribution rights. The company maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary to assist in financing the distribution rights purchase activities if requested by new IDPs, using the distribution rights and certain associated assets as collateral. These notes receivable earn interest at a fixed rate. Interest income was primarily related to the IDPs’ notes receivable and was as follows (amounts in thousands): Interest Income For the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018 $ 6,466 For the twelve weeks ended July 15, 2017 $ 5,158 For the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 $ 14,561 For the twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 2017 $ 11,735 At July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, the carrying value of the distributor notes receivable was as follows (amounts in thousands): July 14, 2018 December 30, 2017 Distributor notes receivable $ 229,029 $ 211,702 Current portion of distributor notes receivable recorded in accounts and notes receivable, net 25,603 23,965 Long-term portion of distributor notes receivable $ 203,426 $ 187,737 At July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, the company has evaluated the collectability of the distributor notes receivable and determined that a reserve is not necessary. Payments on these distributor notes receivable are collected by the company weekly in conjunction with the distributor settlement process. The fair value of the company’s variable rate debt at July 14, 2018 approximates the recorded value. The fair value of the company’s 3.5% senior notes due 2026 (“2026 notes”) and 4.375% senior notes due 2022 (“2022 notes”), as discussed in Note 13, Debt and Other Obligations Carrying Value Fair Value Level 2026 notes $ 395,286 $ 375,996 2 2022 notes $ 398,200 $ 409,770 2 For fair value disclosure information about our derivative assets and liabilities see Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments	9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The company measures the fair value of its derivative portfolio by using the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market for that asset or liability. These measurements are classified into a hierarchy by the inputs used to perform the fair value calculation as follows: Level 1: Fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date Level 2: Modeled fair value with model inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3: Modeled fair value with unobservable model inputs that are used to estimate the fair value of the asset or liability Commodity Risk The company enters into commodity derivatives designated as cash-flow hedges of existing or future exposure to changes in commodity prices. The company’s primary raw materials are flour, sweeteners and shortening, along with pulp, paper and petroleum-based packaging products. Natural gas, which is used as oven fuel, and diesel fuel are also important commodity inputs. As of July 14, 2018, the company’s hedge portfolio contained commodity derivatives, which are recorded in the following accounts with fair values measured as indicated (amounts in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Other current (4,741 ) — — (4,741 ) Other long-term (3,124 ) — — (3,124 ) Total (7,865 ) — — (7,865 ) Net Fair Value $ (7,865 ) $ — $ — $ (7,865 ) As of December 30, 2017, the company’s hedge portfolio contained commodity derivatives, which are recorded in the following accounts with fair values measured as indicated (amounts in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Other current $ 259 $ — $ — $ 259 Other long-term 32 — — 32 Total 291 — — 291 Liabilities: Other current (10,247 ) — — (10,247 ) Other long-term (639 ) — — (639 ) Total (10,886 ) — — (10,886 ) Net Fair Value $ (10,595 ) $ — $ — $ (10,595 ) The positions held in the portfolio are used to hedge economic exposure to changes in various raw material prices and effectively fix, or limit increases in, prices for a period of time extending into fiscal 2021. These instruments are designated as cash-flow hedges. The change in the fair value for these derivatives is reported in AOCI. All of the company-held commodity derivatives at July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, qualified for hedge accounting. Interest Rate Risk The company entered into treasury rate locks on August 5, 2016 and August 8, 2016 to fix the interest rate for the 2026 notes issued on September 28, 2016. The derivative positions were closed when the debt was priced on September 23, 2016 with a net cash receipt of $1.0 million that offset changes in the benchmark treasury rate between execution of the treasury rate locks and the debt pricing date. These rate locks were designated as a cash flow hedge. During fiscal 2016, the company recognized $0.1 million of ineffectiveness due to issuing the debt earlier than the settlement date of the treasury locks. The ineffectiveness amount was reported as a selling, distribution and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The company entered into a treasury rate lock on March 28, 2012 to fix the interest rate for the 2022 notes issued on April 3, 2012. The derivative position was closed when the debt was priced on March 29, 2012 with a cash settlement of $3.1 million that offset changes in the benchmark treasury rate between the execution of the treasury rate lock and the debt pricing date. This treasury rate lock was designated as a cash flow hedge. The following table outlines the company’s derivatives, which were hedging the risk of changes in forecasted interest payments on forecasted issuance of long-term debt (amounts in thousands, before tax, and an asset is a positive value and a liability is a negative value): Terminated Description Aggregate Notional Amount Fair Value When Terminated Fair Value Deferred in AOCI(1) Ineffective Portion at Termination April/2012 Treasury lock $ 500,000 $ (3,137 ) $ 2,510 $ 627 September/2016 Treasury lock $ 200,000 $ 1,298 $ (1,298 ) $ — September/2016 Treasury lock $ 150,000 $ (323 ) $ 215 $ 108 (1) The amount reported in AOCI is reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the related notes through the maturity date.

Assets Held for Sale	12. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE The company repurchases distribution rights from IDPs in circumstances when the company decides to exit a territory or, in some cases, when the IDP elects to terminate its relationship with the company. In the majority of the distributor agreements, if the company decides to exit a territory or stop using the independent distribution model in a territory, the company is contractually required to purchase the distribution rights from the IDP. In the event an IDP terminates its relationship with the company, the company, although not legally obligated, may repurchase and operate those distribution rights as a company-owned territory. The IDPs may also sell their distribution rights to another person or entity. Distribution rights purchased from IDPs and operated as company-owned territories are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the line item assets held for sale while the company actively seeks another IDP to purchase the distribution rights for the territory. Distributions rights held for sale and operated by the company are sold to IDPs at fair market value pursuant to the terms of a distributor agreement. There are multiple versions of the distributor agreement in place at any given time and the terms of such distributor agreements vary. Additional assets recorded in assets held for sale are for property, plant and equipment. The carrying values of assets held for sale are not amortized and are evaluated for impairment as required at the end of the reporting period. The table below presents the assets held for sale as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively (amounts in thousands): July 14, 2018 December 30, 2017 Distributor territories $ 4,291 $ 13,584 Property, plant and equipment 1,211 1,739 Total assets held for sale $ 5,502 $ 15,323

DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS Long-term debt and capital leases (net of issuance costs and debt discounts excluding line-of-credit arrangements) consisted of the following at July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively (amounts in thousands): July 14, 2018 December 30, 2017 Unsecured credit facility $ — $ — 2026 notes 395,286 394,978 2022 notes 398,200 397,941 Accounts receivable securitization facility — — Capital lease obligations 22,557 27,150 Other notes payable 9,789 12,167 825,832 832,236 Current maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations 9,706 12,095 Total long-term debt and capital lease obligations $ 816,126 $ 820,141 Bank overdrafts occur when checks have been issued but have not been presented to the bank for payment. Certain of our banks allow us to delay funding of issued checks until the checks are presented for payment. The delay in funding results in a temporary source of financing from the bank. The activity related to bank overdrafts is shown as a financing activity in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Bank overdrafts are included in other accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, the bank overdraft balance was $9.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The company also had standby letters of credit (“LOCs”) outstanding of $8.4 million and $8.7 million at July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, which reduce the availability of funds under the credit facility (as defined below). The outstanding LOCs are for the benefit of certain insurance companies and lessors. None of the outstanding LOCs are recorded as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 2026 Notes, Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, 2022 Notes, and Credit Facility 2026 Notes . On September 28, 2016, the company issued $400.0 million of senior notes. The company pays semiannual interest on the 2026 notes on each April 1 and October 1 and the 2026 notes will mature on October 1, 2026. The notes bear interest at 3.500% per annum. The 2026 notes are subject to interest rate adjustments if either Moody’s or S&P downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the 2026 notes. On any date prior to July 1, 2026, the company may redeem some or all of the notes at a price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed and (2) a “make-whole” amount plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. The make-whole amount is equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2026 notes to be redeemed that would be due if such notes matured July 1, 2026 (exclusive of interest accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), plus 30 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after July 1, 2026, the company may redeem some or all of the 2026 notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the company experiences a “change of control triggering event” (which involves a change of control of the company and the related rating of the notes below investment grade), it is required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon unless the company exercised its option to redeem the notes in whole. The 2026 notes are also subject to customary restrictive covenants for investment grade debt, including certain limitations on liens and sale and leaseback transactions. The face value of the 2026 notes is $400.0 million. There was a debt discount representing the difference between the net proceeds, after expenses, received upon issuance of debt and the amount repayable at its maturity. The company also paid issuance costs of $3.6 million (including underwriting fees and legal fees) on the 2026 notes. Debt issuance costs and the debt discount are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2026 notes. As of July 14, 2018, and December 30, 2017, respectively, the company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the indenture governing the 2026 notes. The table below presents the debt discount, underwriting fees and the legal and other fees for issuing the 2026 notes (amounts in thousands): Amount at Issuance Debt discount $ 2,108 Underwriting, legal, and other fees 3,634 Total fees $ 5,742 Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility . On July 17, 2013, the company entered into an accounts receivable securitization facility (the “facility”). The company has amended the facility five times since inception. These amendments include provisions which (i) increased the revolving commitments under the facility to $200.0 million from $150.0 million, (ii) added a leverage pricing grid, (iii) added an additional bank to the lending group, (iv) made certain other conforming changes, and (v) extended the term, most recently one additional year to September 28, 2019. The amendment that added the additional bank was accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt. The remaining amendments were accounted for as modifications. Under the facility, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary purchases, on an ongoing basis, substantially all trade receivables. As borrowings are made under the facility, the subsidiary pledges the receivables as collateral. In the event of liquidation of the subsidiary, its creditors would be entitled to satisfy their claims from the subsidiary’s pledged receivables prior to distributions of collections to the company. We include the subsidiary in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default . There were no amounts outstanding under the facility on either July 14, 2018 or December 30, 2017. As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, the company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the facility. The company currently has $185.5 million available under its facility for working capital and general corporate purposes. Amounts available for withdrawal under the facility are determined as the lesser of the total commitments and a formula derived amount based on qualifying trade receivables. Optional principal repayments may be made at any time without premium or penalty. Interest is due two days after our reporting periods end in arrears on the outstanding borrowings and is computed as the cost of funds rate plus an applicable margin of 85 basis points. An unused fee of 30 basis points is applicable on the unused commitment at each reporting period. Financing costs paid at inception of the facility and at the time amendments are executed are being amortized over the life of the facility. The balance of unamortized financing costs was $0.2 million on July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017 and are recorded in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 2022 Notes . On April 3, 2012, the company issued $400.0 million of senior notes. The company pays semiannual interest on the 2022 notes on each April 1 and October 1 and the 2022 notes will mature on April 1, 2022. The 2022 notes bear interest at 4.375% per annum. On any date prior to January 1, 2022, the company may redeem some or all of the 2022 notes at a price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed and (2) a “make-whole” amount plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. The make-whole amount is equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof (not including any interest accrued thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), plus 35 basis points, plus in each case, unpaid interest accrued thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption. At any time on or after January 1, 2022, the company may redeem some or all of the 2022 notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the company experiences a “change of control triggering event” (which involves a change of control of the company and the related rating of the notes below investment grade), it is required to offer to purchase the 2022 notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon unless the company exercised its option to redeem the 2022 notes in whole. The 2022 notes are also subject to customary restrictive covenants for investment grade debt, including certain limitations on liens and sale and leaseback transactions. The face value of the 2022 notes is $400.0 million and the debt discount on the 2022 notes at issuance was $1.0 million. The company paid issuance costs (including underwriting fees and legal fees) on the 2022 notes of $3.9 million. The issuance costs and the debt discount are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2022 notes. As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, the company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the indenture governing the 2022 notes. Credit Facility . On November 29, 2017, the company entered into the sixth amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of October 24, 2003, with the lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, the swingline lender and issuing lender. The amendment, among other things (i) extends the maturity date of the existing credit agreement to November 29, 2022; (ii) amends the applicable margin for revolving loans maintained as (1) base rate loans and swingline loans to a range of 0.00% to 0.575% (from a range of 0.00% to 0.75% in the existing credit agreement) and (2) Eurodollar loans to a range of 0.575% to 1.575% (from a range of 0.70% to 1.75% in the existing credit agreement), in each case, based on the leverage ratio of the company and its subsidiaries; (iii) amends the applicable facility fee to a range of 0.05% to 0.30% (from a range of 0.05% to 0.50% in the existing credit agreement), due quarterly on all commitments under the amended credit agreement, based on the leverage ratio of the company and its subsidiaries; and (iv) amends the maximum leverage ratio covenant to permit the company, at its option, in connection with certain acquisitions and investments and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the amended credit agreement, to increase the maximum ratio permitted thereunder on one or more occasions to 4.00 to 1.00 for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, including and/or immediately following the fiscal quarter in which such acquisitions or investments were completed (the “covenant holiday”), provided that each additional covenant holiday will not be available to the company until it has achieved and maintained a leverage ratio of at least 3.75 to 1.00 and has been complied with for at least two fiscal quarters . This credit facility (the “credit facility”) is a five-year, $500.0 million senior unsecured revolving loan facility. The credit facility contains a provision that permits the company to request up to $200.0 million in additional revolving commitments, for a total of up to $700.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Proceeds from the credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, acquisition financing, refinancing of indebtedness, dividends and share repurchases. The credit facility includes certain customary restrictions, which, among other things, require maintenance of financial covenants and limit encumbrance of assets and creation of indebtedness. Restrictive financial covenants include such ratios as a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The company believes that, given its current cash position, its cash flow from operating activities and its available credit capacity, it can comply with the current terms of the amended credit facility and can meet its presently foreseeable financial requirements. As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, the company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the credit facility. Financing costs paid at inception of the credit facility and at the time amendments are executed are being amortized over the life of the credit facility. The balance of unamortized financing costs was $1.3 million and $1.6 million on July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, and are recorded in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility vary daily. Changes in the gross borrowings and repayments can be caused by cash flow activity from operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends, share repurchases, and tax payments, as well as derivative transactions, which are part of the company’s overall risk management strategy as discussed in Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments Amount (thousands) Balance at December 30, 2017 $ — Borrowings 1,000 Payments (1,000 ) Balance at July 14, 2018 $ — The table below presents the net amount available under the credit facility as of July 14, 2018: Amount (thousands) Gross amount available $ 500,000 Outstanding — Letters of credit (8,400 ) Available for withdrawal $ 491,600 The table below presents the highest and lowest outstanding balance under the credit facility during the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018: Amount (thousands) High balance $ 1,000 Low balance $ — Aggregate maturities of debt outstanding, including capital leases and the associated interest, as of July 14, 2018, are as follows (excluding unamortized debt discount and issuance costs) (amounts in thousands): Remainder of 2018 $ 5,002 2019 10,623 2020 5,344 2021 3,598 2022 402,101 2023 and thereafter 405,889 Total $ 832,557 Debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized straight-line (which approximates the effective method) over the term of the underlying debt outstanding.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the company terminated certain operating lease contracts prior to the maturity date, which resulted in net termination costs. The net termination costs consisted of $1.2 million of lease termination gain recognized in the selling, distribution and administrative expenses line item and $1.8 million of lease termination costs recognized in the depreciation and amortization line item of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Variable Interest Entities	14. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES Transportation agreement variable interest entity (the “VIE”) analysis The company maintains a transportation agreement with an entity that transports a significant portion of the company’s fresh bakery products from the company’s production facilities to outlying distribution centers. The company represents a significant portion of the entity’s revenue. This entity qualifies as a VIE, but the company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the company does not (i) have the ability to direct the significant activities of the VIE and (ii) provide any implicit or explicit guarantees or other financial support to the VIE for specific return or performance benchmarks. In addition, we do not provide, nor do we intend to provide, financial or other support to the entity . The company has concluded that certain of the trucks and trailers the VIE uses for distributing our products from the manufacturing facilities to the distribution centers qualify as right to use leases . As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, there was $22.6 million and $27.2 million, respectively, in net property, plant and equipment and capital lease obligations associated with the right to use leases. Distribution rights agreement VIE analysis The incorporated IDPs in the DSD Segment qualify as VIEs. The IDPs who are formed as sole proprietorships are excluded from the following VIE accounting analysis and discussion . Incorporated IDPs acquire distribution rights and enter into a contract with the company to sell the company’s products in the IDPs’ defined geographic territory. The incorporated IDPs have the option to finance the acquisition of their distribution rights with the company. They can also pay cash or obtain external financing at the time they acquire the distribution rights. The combination of the company’s loans to the incorporated IDPs and the ongoing distributor arrangements with the incorporated IDPs provide a level of funding to the equity owners of the various incorporated IDPs that would not otherwise be available . As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, there was $158.3 million and $137.9 million, respectively, . The company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the company does not (i) have the ability to direct the significant activities of the VIEs that would affect their ability to operate their respective businesses and (ii) provide any implicit or explicit guarantees or other financial support to the VIEs, other than the financing described above, for specific return or performance benchmarks. The activities controlled by the incorporated IDPs that are deemed to most significantly impact the ultimate success of the incorporated IDP entities relate to those decisions inherent in operating the distribution business in the territory, including acquiring trucks and trailers, managing fuel costs, employee matters and other strategic decisions. In addition, we do not provide, nor do we intend to provide, financial or other support to the IDP. The IDPs are responsible for the operations of their respective territories . The company’s maximum contractual exposure to loss for the incorporated IDP relates to the distributor rights note receivable for the portion of the territory the incorporated IDPs financed at the time they acquired the distribution rights. The incorporated IDPs remit payment on their distributor rights note receivable each week during the settlement process of their weekly activity. The company will operate a territory on behalf of an incorporated IDP in situations where the IDP has abandoned its distribution rights. Any remaining balance outstanding on the distribution rights notes receivable is relieved once the distribution rights have been sold on the IDPs behalf. The company’s collateral from the territory distribution rights mitigates the potential losses .

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Self-insurance reserves and other commitments and contingencies The company has recorded current liabilities of $31.7 million and $30.1 million related to self-insurance reserves, excluding the distributor litigation discussed below, at July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. The reserves include an estimate of expected settlements on pending claims, defense costs and a provision for claims incurred but not reported. These estimates are based on the company’s assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience and current cost trends. The amount of the company’s ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ materially from these estimates In the event the company ceases to utilize the independent distributor model or exits a geographic market, the company is contractually required in some situations to purchase the distribution rights from the independent distributor. The company expects to continue operating under this model and has concluded that the possibility of a loss is remote . The company’s facilities are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding the discharge of material into the environment and the protection of the environment in other ways. The company is not a party to any material proceedings arising under these laws and regulations. The company believes that compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations will not materially affect the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the competitive position of the company. The company believes it is currently in substantial compliance with all material environmental laws and regulations affecting the company and its properties. On August 9, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) notified the company that it was scheduled for a compliance review under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The company is cooperating with the DOL . Litigation The company and its subsidiaries from time to time are parties to, or targets of, lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including personal injury, commercial, contract, environmental, antitrust, product liability, health and safety and employment matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. While the company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters, it believes, based upon currently available facts, that it is remote that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its overall financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, adverse developments could negatively impact earnings in a particular future fiscal period . At this time, the company is defending 33 complaints filed by distributors alleging that such distributors were misclassified as independent contractors. Twenty-five of these lawsuits seek class and/or collective action treatment. The remaining eight cases either allege individual claims or do not seek class or collective action treatment or, in cases in which class treatment was sought, the court denied class certification. The respective courts have ruled on plaintiffs’ motions for class certification in 18 of the pending cases, each of which is discussed below. Unless otherwise noted, a class was conditionally certified under the FLSA in each of the cases described below, although the company has the ability to petition the court to decertify that class at a later date Case Name Case No. Venue Date Filed Status Rosinbaum et al. v. Flowers Foods, Inc. and Franklin Baking Co., LLC 7:16-cv-00233 U.S. District Court Eastern District of North Carolina 12/1/2015 McCurley v.

The company and/or its respective subsidiaries contests the allegations and are vigorously defending all of these lawsuits. Given the stage of the complaints and the claims and issues presented, except for lawsuits disclosed herein that have reached a settlement or agreement in principle, the company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss that may arise from the unresolved lawsuits . As of July 14, 2018, the company has settled, and the appropriate court has approved, the following collective and/or class action lawsuits filed by distributors alleging that such distributors were misclassified as independent contractors. In each of these settlements, in addition to the monetary terms noted below, the settlements also included certain non-economic terms intended to strengthen and enhance the independent contractor model: Case Name Case No. Venue Date Filed Comments Rehberg et al. v.

Flowers Foods, Inc. and Holsum Bakery, Inc. 2:15-cv-01372 U.S. District Court District of Arizona 7/20/2015 On March 23, 2018, the court dismissed this lawsuit and approved an agreement to settle this matter for $4.3 million, comprised of $1.2 million in settlement funds, $2.9 million in attorneys’ fees, and $0.2 million as an incentive for class members who are active distributors not to opt out of certain portions of the new distributor agreement. The settlement consisted of approximately 192 class members. This settlement charge was recorded as a selling, distribution and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and was paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. On August 12, 2016, a class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by Chris B. Hendley (the “Hendley complaint”) against the company and certain senior members of management (collectively, the “defendants”). On August 17, 2016, another class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by Scott Dovell, II (the “Dovell complaint” and together with the Hendley complaint, the “complaints”) against the defendants. Plaintiffs in the complaints are securities holders that acquired company securities between February 7, 2013 and August 10, 2016. The complaints generally allege that the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (1) the company’s labor practices were not in compliance with applicable federal laws and regulations; (2) such non-compliance exposed the company to legal liability and/or negative regulatory action; and (3) as a result, the defendants’ statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. The counts of the complaints are asserted against the defendants pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. The complaints seek (1) class certification under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, (2) compensatory damages in favor of the plaintiffs and all other class members against the defendants, jointly and severally, for all damages sustained as a result of wrongdoing, in an amount to be proven at trial, including interest, and (3) awarding plaintiffs and the class their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the actions, including counsel and expert fees. On October 21, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York consolidated the complaints into one action captioned “In re Flowers Foods, Inc. Securities Litigation” (the “consolidated securities action”), appointed Walter Matthews as lead plaintiff (“lead plaintiff”), and appointed Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP and Johnson & Weaver, LLP as co-lead counsel for the putative class. On November 21, 2016, the court granted defendants’ and lead plaintiff’s joint motion to transfer the consolidated securities action to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. Lead plaintiff filed his Consolidated Class Action Complaint on January 12, 2017, raising the same counts and general allegations and seeking the same relief as the Dovell and Hendley complaints. On March 13, 2017, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit which was granted in part and denied in part on March 23, 2018. The court dismissed certain allegedly false or misleading statements as nonactionable under federal securities laws, and will allow others to proceed to fact discovery. On June 8, 2018, a verified shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia by William D. Wrigley, derivatively on behalf of the company (the “Wrigley complaint”), against certain current and former directors and officers of the company. On June 14, 2018, a related shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia by Stephen Goldberger, derivatively on behalf of the company (the “Goldberger complaint” and together with the Wrigley complaint, the “federal derivative complaints”), against the same current and former directors and officers of the company. The federal derivative complaints allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties and violations of federal securities laws relating to the company’s labor practices, and seek unspecified damages, disgorgement, and other relief. On June 27, 2018, these derivative actions were consolidated and stayed until the earlier of (1) an order from the court on any summary judgment motions that may be filed in the consolidated securities action, or (2) notification that there has been a settlement reached in the consolidated securities action, or until otherwise agreed to by the parties. On June 21, 2018, two verified shareholder derivative complaints were filed in The Superior Court of Thomas County, State of Georgia, by Margaret Cicchini Family Trust and Frank Garnier, separately, derivatively on behalf of the company (together the “state derivative complaints”), against certain current and former directors and officers of the company. The state derivative complaints allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties relating to the company’s labor practices, and seek unspecified damages, disgorgement, and other relief. On July 12, 2018, these derivative actions were consolidated and stayed until the earlier of (1) an order from the court on any summary judgment motions that may be filed in the consolidated securities action, or (2) notification that there has been a settlement reached in the consolidated securities action, or until otherwise agreed to by the parties. The company and/or its respective subsidiaries are vigorously defending these lawsuits. Given the stage of the complaints and the claims and issues presented, the company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from the unresolved lawsuits.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On March 5, 2014, our Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). The Omnibus Plan was approved by our shareholders on May 21, 2014. The Omnibus Plan authorizes the compensation committee of the Board of Directors to provide equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents and other awards for the purpose of providing our officers, key employees, and non-employee directors’ incentives and rewards for performance. The Omnibus Plan replaced the Flowers Foods’ 2001 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of April 1, 2009 (“EPIP”), the stock appreciation right plan, and the bonus plan. Equity awards granted after May 21, 2014 are governed by the Omnibus Plan. No additional awards were issued under the EPIP after May 21, 2014 and the last issued awards were fully exercised during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan are limited to the authorized amount of 8,000,000 shares. The following is a summary of stock options, restricted stock, and deferred stock outstanding under the plans described above. Information relating to the company’s stock appreciation rights, which were issued under a separate stock appreciation right plan, is also described below. The company typically grants awards at the beginning of its fiscal year. There were no grants in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018. Stock Options The company issued non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) during fiscal years 2011 and prior that were vested and fully exercised by our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The company’s final 72,785 stock options, with an exercise price of $10.87, outstanding on December 30, 2017 were exercised during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. There are no outstanding NQSOs as of July 14, 2018. The cash received, the windfall tax benefit, and intrinsic value from stock option exercises for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017, respectively, were as follows (amounts in thousands): July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 Cash received from option exercises $ 791 $ 6,416 Tax benefit at exercise, net $ 111 $ 1,477 Intrinsic value of stock options exercised $ 609 $ 5,215 Performance-Contingent Restricted Stock Awards Performance-Contingent Total Shareholder Return Shares (“TSR Shares”) Certain key employees have been granted performance-contingent restricted stock under the Omnibus Plan in the form of TSR Shares. The awards vest approximately two years from the date of grant (after the filing of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K), and the shares become non-forfeitable if, and to the extent that, on that date the vesting conditions are satisfied. The total shareholder return (“TSR”) is the percent change in the company’s stock price over the measurement period plus the dividends paid to shareholders. The performance payout is calculated at the end of each of the last four quarters (averaged) in the measurement period. Once the TSR is determined for the company (“Company TSR”), it is compared to the TSR of our food company peers (“Peer Group TSR”). The Company TSR compared to the Peer Group TSR will determine the payout as set forth below: Percentile Payout as % of Target 90th 200 % 70th 150 % 50th 100 % 30th 50 % Below 30th 0 % For performance between the levels described above, the degree of vesting is interpolated on a linear basis. The 2015 award, which vested in fiscal 2017, did not meet the performance condition and no shares were issued. The 2016 award, which vested in fiscal 2018, vested at 12.5% of target. The TSR shares vest immediately if the grantee dies or becomes disabled. However, if the grantee retires at age 65 (or age 55 with at least 10 years of service with the company) or later, on the normal vesting date the grantee will receive a pro-rated number of shares based upon the retirement date and measured at the actual performance for the entire performance period. In addition, if the company undergoes a change in control, the TSR shares will immediately vest at the target level, provided that if 12 months of the performance period have been completed, vesting will be determined based on Company TSR as of the date of the change in control without application of four-quarter averaging. During the vesting period, the grantee has none of the rights of a shareholder. Dividends declared during the vesting period will accrue and will be paid at vesting on the TSR shares that ultimately vest. The fair value estimate was determined using a Monte Carlo The following performance-contingent TSR Shares have been granted under the Omnibus Plan and have service period remaining (amounts in thousands, except price data): Grant Date January 1, 2017 Shares granted 426 Vesting date 3/1/2019 Fair value per share $ 23.31 Performance-Contingent Return on Invested Capital Shares (“ROIC Shares”) Certain key employees have been granted performance-contingent restricted stock under the Omnibus Plan in the form of ROIC Shares. The awards generally vest approximately two years from the date of grant (after the filing of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K), and the shares become non-forfeitable if, and to the extent that, on that date, the vesting conditions are satisfied. Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is calculated by dividing our profit, as defined, by the invested capital. Generally, the performance condition requires the company’s average ROIC to exceed its average weighted cost of capital (“WACC”) by between 1.75 to 4.75 percentage points (the “ROI Target”) over the two fiscal year performance period. If the lowest ROI Target is not met, the awards are forfeited. The ROIC Shares can be earned based on a range from 0% to 125% of target as defined below: • ROIC above WACC by less than 1.75 percentage points pays 0% of ROI Target; • ROIC above WACC by 1.75 percentage points pays 50% of ROI Target; or • ROIC above WACC by 3.75 percentage points pays 100% of ROI Target; or • ROIC above WACC by 4.75 percentage points pays 125% of ROI Target. For performance between the levels described above, the degree of vesting is interpolated on a linear basis. The 2015 award, which vested in fiscal 2017, actual attainment was 87% of ROI Target. The 2016 award, which vested in fiscal 2018, actual attainment was 70% of ROI Target. The ROIC Shares vest immediately if the grantee dies or becomes disabled. However, if the grantee retires at age 65 (or age 55 with at least 10 years of service with the company) or later, on the normal vesting date the grantee will receive a pro-rated number of ROIC Shares based upon the retirement date and actual performance for the entire performance period. In addition, if the company undergoes a change in control, the ROIC Shares will immediately vest at the target level. During the vesting period, the grantee has none of the rights of a shareholder. Dividends declared during the vesting period will accrue and will be paid at vesting on the ROIC Shares that ultimately vest. The fair value of this type of award is equal to the stock price on the grant date. Since these awards have a performance condition feature the expense associated with these awards may change depending on the expected ROI Target attained at each reporting period. The 2017 award is being expensed at 100% of ROI Target. The following performance-contingent ROIC Shares have been granted under the Omnibus Plan and have service period remaining (amounts in thousands, except price data): Grant Date January 1, 2017 Shares granted 426 Vesting date 3/1/2019 Fair value per share $ 19.97 Performance-Contingent Restricted Stock Summary The table below presents the TSR modifier share adjustment, ROIC modifier share adjustment, accumulated dividends on vested shares, and the tax benefit/(expense) at vesting of the performance-contingent restricted stock awards (amounts in thousands, except per share data). The shortfall at vesting of 2015 and 2016 awards was recorded as tax expense. Award Granted Fiscal Year Vested TSR Modifier Increase/(Decrease) Shares ROIC Modifier Increase/(Decrease) Shares Dividends at Vesting (thousands) Tax Benefit/(Expense) Fair Value at Vesting 2016 2018 (333,112 ) (114,190 ) $ 405 $ (2,130 ) $ 6,504 2015 2017 (378,219 ) (49,272 ) $ 392 $ (3,099 ) $ 6,316 Performance-Contingent Restricted Stock The company’s performance-contingent restricted stock activity for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 is presented below (amounts in thousands, except price data): Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested shares at December 30, 2017 1,575 $ 22.20 Grant reduction for not achieving the ROIC modifier (114 ) $ 21.49 Grant reduction for not achieving the TSR modifier (333 ) $ 24.17 Vested (314 ) $ 21.89 Forfeited (28 ) $ 21.09 Nonvested shares at July 14, 2018 786 $ 21.64 As of July 14, 2018, there was $4.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock granted under the Omnibus Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.63 years. The total intrinsic value of shares vested during the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 was $6.5 million. Deferred and Restricted Stock Non-employee directors may convert their annual board retainers into deferred stock equal in value to 100% of the cash payments directors would otherwise receive and the vesting period is a one-year period to match the period of time that cash would have been received if no conversion existed. Accumulated dividends are paid upon delivery of the shares. During fiscal 2018, non-employee directors elected to receive an aggregate of 12,950 common shares for board retainer deferrals pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. A total of 10,020 common shares were vested and issued for previous board retainer deferrals. Non-employee directors also receive annual grants of deferred stock. This deferred stock vests one year from the grant date. The deferred stock will be distributed to the grantee at a time designated by the grantee at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recorded on this deferred stock over the one-year minimum vesting period. During fiscal 2018, non-employee directors received an aggregate of 65,000 shares for their annual grant pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. The deferred grant in fiscal 2017 fully vested in our second quarter of fiscal 2018 with 63,180 shares issued at vesting and 14,040 deferred at vesting. On May 31, 2013, the company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) received a time-based restricted stock award of approximately $1.3 million of restricted stock pursuant to the EPIP. This award vested at 100% on the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant. Dividends accrued on the award and were paid to the CEO on the vesting date. There were 58,500 shares issued for this award at a fair value of $22.25 per share. This award vested at a price of $18.48 and the shares were issued in our second quarter of fiscal 2017.

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Postretirement Plans	18. POSTRETIREMENT PLANS The following summarizes the company’s balance sheet related pension and other postretirement benefit plan accounts at July 14, 2018 compared to accounts at December 30, 2017 (amounts in thousands): July 14, 2018 December 30, 2017 Noncurrent asset $ 20,655 $ — Current liability $ 935 $ 935 Noncurrent liability $ 20,065 $ 60,107 Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax $ 76,152 $ 78,076 Defined Benefit Plans and Nonqualified Plan The company amended our qualified defined benefit plans in October 2015 to allow pension plan participants not yet receiving benefit payments the option to elect to receive their benefit as a single lump sum payment. This amendment was effective as of January 1, 2016. This change supports our long-term pension risk management strategy. Settlement accounting, which accelerates recognition of a plan’s unrecognized net gain or loss, is triggered if the lump sums paid during a year exceeds the sum of the plan’s service and interest cost. The company determined it was probable a settlement would occur and paid lump sums that exceeded that threshold during our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The table below presents our recognized settlement loss by quarter (amounts in thousands: Settlement charge First quarter $ 4,668 Second quarter 1,035 For the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 $ 5,703 Additional settlement charges will be recognized in each of the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2018. The amount of those charges will depend on the amount settled and the plan’s unrecognized net gain or loss at the end of each quarter. The company used a measurement date of December 31, 2017 for the defined benefit and postretirement benefit plans described below (excluding Plan No. 1, which has a measurement date of June 30, 2018 due to the settlement). The actuarial gain for Plan No. 1 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018 is primarily due to better than expected asset returns during fiscal 2018, offset by an increase in the discount rate reflected in the re-measurement, which resulted in the decrease to the noncurrent liability in the table above. The long-term expected rate of return, net of expenses, for the defined benefit plans was 6.4% at the March 31, 2018 re-measurement. When Plan No. 1 was re-measured as of June 30, 2018, the expected return was changed from 6.4% to 5.2% due to re-balancing the plan asset allocation to more debt rather than equities as part of our pension de-risking strategy. The company voluntarily contributed $10.0 million during our first quarter of fiscal 2018 and an additional $30.0 million during our second quarter of fiscal 2018 to Plan No. 1. The net periodic pension cost (income) for the company’s plans include the following components (amounts in thousands): For the Twelve Weeks Ended For the Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 Service cost $ 216 $ 174 $ 504 $ 407 Interest cost 3,123 3,006 6,247 7,013 Expected return on plan assets (4,678 ) (5,895 ) (10,085 ) (13,754 ) Settlement loss 1,035 — 5,703 — Amortization of prior service cost 95 89 195 208 Amortization of net loss 1,256 1,469 2,829 3,427 Total net periodic pension cost (income) $ 1,047 $ (1,157 ) $ 5,393 $ (2,699 ) The components of net periodic benefit cost (income) other than the service cost are included in the other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits credit line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Postretirement Benefit Plan The company provides certain medical and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees covered under the active medical plans. The plan incorporates an up-front deductible, coinsurance payments and retiree contributions at various premium levels. Eligibility and maximum period of coverage is based on age and length of service. The net periodic postretirement income for the company includes the following components (amounts in thousands): For the Twelve Weeks Ended For the Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 Service cost $ 66 $ 59 $ 155 $ 138 Interest cost 54 52 127 122 Amortization of prior service credit (49 ) (49 ) (114 ) (114 ) Amortization of net gain (99 ) (114 ) (232 ) (268 ) Total net periodic postretirement income $ (28 ) $ (52 ) $ (64 ) $ (122 ) The components of net periodic postretirement benefits income other than the service cost are included in the other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits credit line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan The Flowers Foods, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (“401(k) plan”) covers substantially all the company’s employees who have completed certain service requirements. During the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017, the total cost and employer contributions were $6.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively. During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017 the total cost and employer contributions were $13.5 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Multi-employer Pension Plan On August 18, 2017, the union participants of the Bakery and Confectionary Union and Industry International Pension Fund (the “Fund”) at our Lakeland, Florida plant voted to withdraw from the Fund in the most recent collective bargaining agreement. The withdrawal was effective, and the union participants were eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan, on November 1, 2017. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the company recorded a liability of $15.2 million related to the withdrawal from the Fund. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the company recorded an additional liability of $2.3 million for the final settlement amount of the withdrawal liability. The withdrawal liability was computed as the net present value of 20 years of monthly payments derived from the company’s share of unfunded vested benefits. The company began making payments during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. While this is our best estimate of the ultimate cost of the withdrawal from the Fund, additional withdrawal liability may be incurred based on the final fund assessment or in the event of a mass withdrawal, as defined by statute following our complete withdrawal. Transition payments, including related tax payments, were made on November 3, 2017 to, and for the benefit of, union participants as part of the collective bargaining agreement. An additional $3.1 million was recorded for these transition payments . The withdrawal liability charge and the transition payments were recorded in the multi-employer pension plan withdrawal costs line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are in the DSD Segment. The liability is recorded in other accrued current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We paid $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and the balance was paid early in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	19. INCOME TAXES The company’s effective tax rate for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 was 19.1% compared to 35.1% for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 2017. The decrease in the rate from the prior year is primarily due to the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, as a result of U.S. tax reform, and adjustments to provisional taxes recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 to revalue our U.S. deferred tax liabilities to the new tax rate. During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018, the primary differences in the effective rate and the statutory rate are state income taxes and adjustments to prior year estimates that impact the effective tax rate in the current quarter. In the fourth quarter ending December 30, 2017, a tax benefit of $48.2 million was recorded as an estimate of the impact of the Act. This provisional amount was adjusted in the current quarter due to additional analysis, changes in assumptions and actions taken related to pension contributions and bonus depreciation on certain assets placed in service during fiscal 2017. As a result, an additional tax benefit of $5.6 million was recorded as a discrete tax item in our second quarter of fiscal 2018. These adjustments resulted in a reduction to federal income tax payable of $16.4 million and an increase to federal deferred tax liabilities of $10.8 million. We continue to gather additional information related to deferred tax estimates and any subsequent adjustments to these amounts will be recorded in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete . During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018, the company’s activity with respect to its uncertain tax positions and related interest expense accrual was not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of July 14, 2018, we do not anticipate significant changes to the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. The company adopted guidance discussed in Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	20. SEGMENT REPORTING The company’s segments are currently separated primarily by the different delivery methods each segment uses for its respective product deliveries. The DSD Segment’s products are delivered fresh to customers through a network of IDPs who are incentivized to grow sales and to build equity in their distributorships. The Warehouse Segment ships fresh and frozen products to customers’ warehouses nationwide. Our bakeries fall into either the DSD Segment or Warehouse Segment depending on the primary method of delivery used to sell that bakery’s products. The bakeries within each segment produce products that are sold externally and internally. Internal sales are to bakeries within the producing bakery’s segment or to the other segment. Sales between bakeries are transferred at standard cost. The company evaluates each segment’s performance based on income or loss before interest and income taxes, excluding unallocated expenses and charges, which the company’s management deems to be an overall corporate cost or a cost not reflective of the segment’s core operating businesses. Information regarding the operations in these reportable segments is as follows (amounts in thousands): For the Twelve Weeks Ended For the Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 Sales: DSD Segment $ 818,998 $ 806,296 $ 1,860,367 $ 1,825,212 Warehouse Segment 187,078 173,844 432,891 411,521 Eliminations: Sales from Warehouse Segment to DSD Segment (42,421 ) (40,097 ) (97,265 ) (89,985 ) Sales from DSD Segment to Warehouse Segment (22,372 ) (13,404 ) (48,257 ) (32,460 ) $ 941,283 $ 926,639 $ 2,147,736 $ 2,114,288 Gain on divestiture: Warehouse Segment $ — $ — $ — $ 28,875 $ — $ — $ — $ 28,875 Multi-employer pension plan withdrawal costs: DSD Segment $ — $ — $ 2,322 $ — $ — $ — $ 2,322 $ — Loss on inferior ingredients: DSD Segment $ 3,884 $ — $ 3,884 $ — $ 3,884 $ — $ 3,884 $ — Restructuring charges: DSD Segment $ 694 $ — $ 1,898 $ — Warehouse Segment 49 — 76 — Unallocated corporate costs 58 — 86 — $ 801 $ — $ 2,060 $ — Impairment of assets: DSD Segment $ — $ — $ 2,483 $ — $ — $ — $ 2,483 $ — Depreciation and amortization: DSD Segment $ 30,127 $ 29,355 $ 67,597 $ 70,417 Warehouse Segment 4,902 4,761 11,527 11,072 Unallocated corporate costs(1) 69 12 163 (173 ) $ 35,098 $ 34,128 $ 79,287 $ 81,316 Income from operations: DSD Segment $ 54,481 $ 79,465 $ 138,906 $ 166,726 Warehouse Segment 11,135 11,589 25,697 56,284 Unallocated corporate costs(2) (13,352 ) (22,331 ) (35,724 ) (56,085 ) $ 52,264 $ 68,723 $ 128,879 $ 166,925 Interest expense $ (8,214 ) $ (8,436 ) $ (19,210 ) $ (20,061 ) Interest income $ 6,466 $ 5,158 $ 14,561 $ 11,735 Pension plan settlement loss $ (1,035 ) $ — $ (5,703 ) $ — Other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits credit $ 298 $ 1,443 $ 1,033 $ 3,366 Income before income taxes $ 49,779 $ 66,888 $ 119,560 $ 161,965 The table below presents the assets by segment (amounts in thousands): Assets: July 14, 2018 December 30, 2017 DSD Segment $ 2,296,462 $ 2,270,179 Warehouse Segment 303,263 296,157 Other (3) 117,582 93,388 Total assets $ 2,717,307 $ 2,659,724 (1) Represents costs allocated to the company’s corporate head office.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Interim Financial Statements	INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Flowers Foods, Inc. (the “company”, “Flowers Foods”, “Flowers”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) have been prepared by the company’s management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 30, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.
Estimates	ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The company believes the following critical accounting estimates affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements: revenue recognition, derivative instruments, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, self-insurance reserves, income tax expense and accruals, pension obligations, stock-based compensation, and commitments and contingencies. These estimates are summarized in the Form 10-K.
Reporting Periods	REPORTING PERIODS — The company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal 2018 consists of 52 weeks, with the company’s quarterly reporting periods as follows: first quarter ended April 21, 2018 (sixteen weeks), second quarter ended July 14, 2018 (twelve weeks), third quarter ending October 6, 2018 (twelve weeks) and fourth quarter ending December 29, 2018 (twelve weeks).
Segments	SEGMENTS — Flowers Foods currently operates two business segments: a direct-store-delivery (“DSD”) segment (“DSD Segment”) and a warehouse delivery segment (“Warehouse Segment”). The DSD Segment (84% of total year to date sales) currently operates 39 plants that produce a wide variety of fresh bakery foods, including fresh breads, buns, rolls, tortillas, and snack cakes. These products are sold through a DSD route delivery system to retail and foodservice customers in the East, South, Southwest, California, and select markets in the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, Nevada, and Colorado. The Warehouse Segment (16% of total year to date sales) currently operates eight plants that produce snack cakes, breads and rolls for national retail, foodservice, vending, and co-pack customers and deliver through customers’ warehouse channels. On May 3, 2017, the company announced an enhanced organizational structure designed to provide greater focus on the company’s strategic objectives, emphasize brand growth and innovation in line with a national branded food company, drive enhanced accountability, reduce costs, and strengthen long-term strategy. The new organizational structure establishes two business units (“BUs”), Fresh Packaged Bread and Snacking/Specialty, and realigns key leadership roles. The new structure also provides for centralized marketing, sales, supply chain, shared-services/administrative, and corporate strategy functions, each with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. The company intends to transition to the new structure over the next several months with full implementation expected to be completed at the beginning of fiscal 2019. Management will continue to review financial information for the DSD Segment and Warehouse Segment until the new organizational structure is fully implemented.
Significant Customer	SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER — Following is the effect that our largest customer, Walmart/Sam’s Club, had on the company’s sales for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017. Walmart/Sam’s Club is the only customer to account for greater than 10% of the company’s sales. For the Twelve Weeks Ended For the Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 July 14, 2018 July 15, 2017 (% of Sales) (% of Sales) DSD Segment 18.4 18.3 17.9 17.7 Warehouse Segment 2.4 2.3 2.4 2.4 Total 20.8 20.6 20.3 20.1 Walmart/Sam’s Club is our only customer with a balance greater than 10% of outstanding trade receivables. Its percentage of trade receivables was 19.5% and 17.5%, on a consolidated basis, as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the company’s outstanding trade receivables.
Revenue	Revenue . Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The company records both direct and estimated reductions to gross revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings at the time the incentive is offered or at the time of revenue recognition for the underlying transaction that results in progress by the customer towards earning the incentive. These allowances include price promotion discounts, coupons, customer rebates, cooperative advertising, and product returns. Consideration payable to a customer is recognized at the time control transfers and is a reduction to revenue. The recognition of costs for promotion programs involves the use of judgment related to performance and redemption estimates. Estimates are made based on historical experience and other factors. Price promotion discount expense is recorded as a reduction to gross sales when the discounted product is sold to the customer. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in our selling, distribution, and administration expenses line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The company’s production facilities deliver products to independent distributor partners (“IDP” or “IDPs”), who sell and deliver those products to outlets of retail accounts that are within the IDPs’ defined geographic territory. The IDPs sell products using either scan-based trading (“SBT”) technology, authorized charge tickets, or cash sales. SBT technology allows the retailer to take ownership of our products when the consumer purchases the products rather than at the time they are delivered to the retailer. Control of the inventory does not transfer upon delivery to the retailer because the company controls the risks and rights until the product is scanned at the reseller’s register. Each of the company’s products is considered distinct because the resellers expect each item to be a performance obligation. The company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when the end consumer purchases the product because each product is considered a separate performance obligation. Consequently, revenue is recognized at a point in time for each scanned item. The company has concluded that we are the principal. SBT is utilized primarily in certain national and regional retail accounts (“SBT Outlet”). Generally, revenue is not recognized by the company upon delivery of our products by the company to the IDP or upon delivery of our products by the IDP to a SBT Outlet, but when our products are purchased by the end consumer. Product inventory in the SBT Outlet is reflected as inventory on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The IDP performs a physical inventory of products at each SBT Outlet weekly and reports the results to the company. The inventory data submitted by the IDP for each SBT Outlet is compared with the product delivery data. Product delivered to a SBT Outlet that is not recorded in the product delivery data has been purchased by the consumer/customer of the SBT Outlet and is recorded as sales revenue by the company. Non-SBT sales are classified as either authorized charged sales or cash sales. The company provides marketing support to the IDP for authorized charged sales, but does not provide marketing support to the IDP for cash sales. Marketing support includes providing a dedicated account representative, resolving complaints, and accepting responsibility for product quality which collectively define how to manage the relationship. Revenue is recognized at a point in time for non-SBT sales. The company retains inventory risk, establishes negotiated special pricing, and fulfills the contractual obligations for authorized charged sales. The company is the principal, the IDP is the agent, and the reseller is the customer. Revenue is recognized for authorized charge sales when the product is delivered to the customer because the company has satisfied its performance obligations. Cash sales occur when the IDP is the end customer. The IDP maintains accounts receivable, inventory and fulfillment risk for cash sales. The IDP also controls pricing for the resale of cash sale products. The company is the principal and the IDP is the customer, and an agent relationship does not exist. The discount paid to the IDP for cash sales is recorded as a reduction to revenue. Revenue is recognized for cash sales when the company’s products are delivered to the IDP because the company has satisfied its performance obligations. Sales in the Warehouse Segment are under contracts and include a formal ordering system. Orders are placed primarily using purchase orders (“PO”) or electronic data interchange information. Each PO, together with the applicable master supply agreement, is determined to be a separate contract. Product is delivered via contract carriers engaged by either the company or the customer with shipping terms provided in the PO. Each unit sold, for all product categories, is a separate performance obligation. Each unit is considered distinct because the customer can benefit from each unit by selling each one separately to the end consumer. Additionally, each unit is separately identifiable in the PO. Products are delivered either freight-on-board (“FOB”) shipping or destination. The company’s right to payment is at the time our products are obtained from our warehouse for FOB shipping deliveries. The right to payment for FOB destination deliveries occurs after the products are delivered to the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers. The company pays commissions to brokers who obtain contracts with customers. Commissions are paid on the total value of the contract, which is determined at contract inception and is based on expected future activity. Broker commissions will not extend beyond a one-year term because each product is considered a separate order in the PO. The company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in our selling, distribution, and administrative expenses line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The company disaggregates revenue by sales channel for each reportable segment. Our sales channels are branded retail, store branded retail, and non-retail and other. The non-retail and other channel includes foodservice, restaurants, and contract manufacturing. The company does not disaggregate revenue by geographic region, customer type, or contract type. All revenues are recognized at a point in time. The disclosures for segment revenues by sales channel are in Note 20, Segment Reporting
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments . New guidance updates the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide investors with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments and related hedged items, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and related hedged items, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments and related hedged items, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments and related hedged items. As required, the company records all derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedged item with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
Income Taxes	Income taxes . The company releases the income tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the period when the underlying transaction impacts earnings. We adopted new accounting requirements that provide the option to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) from AOCI to retained earnings. We elected to reclassify the stranded income tax effects resulting from the Act of $18.8 million from AOCI to retained earnings. This reclassification consists of deferred taxes originally recorded in AOCI that exceed the newly enacted federal corporate tax rate.
Loss on Inferior Ingredients	LOSS ON INFERIOR INGREDIENTS In June 2018, the company received from a supplier several shipments of inferior yeast, which reduced product quality and disrupted production and distribution of foodservice and retail bread and buns at a number of the company’s bakeries for several days during the quarter. While the supplier confirmed that the inferior yeast used in the baking process was safe for consumption, customers and consumers reported instances of unsatisfactory product attributes, primarily involving smell and taste. Costs associated with the inferior yeast were reclassified from material, supplies, labor and other production costs and selling, distribution and administrative expenses to the ‘Loss on inferior ingredients’ line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The currently identifiable and measurable costs reclassified during the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018 in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these production and distribution disruptions were as follows (amounts in thousands and recognized in the DSD Segment): Costs by line item Materials, supplies, labor and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately) $ 3,180 Selling, distribution and administrative expenses 704 Loss on inferior ingredients $ 3,884 Although we anticipate incurring additional losses associated with the disruption, we are not currently able to estimate the amount of such losses. We intend to seek recovery of all losses through appropriate means.
