Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Changes in Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies In this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “company” refer to Campbell Soup Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the indicated periods. The accounting policies we used in preparing these financial statements are substantially consistent with those we applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 2, 2015 with the exception of the changes in accounting policy related to our method of accounting for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans and the calculation of expected return on pension plan assets as described below. As of the beginning of 2016, we are managing our operations under a new structure and have modified our segment reporting accordingly. Certain amounts in prior-year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. The results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest July 31. In 2016 , we elected to change our method of accounting for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans and the calculation of expected return on pension plan assets. Historically, actuarial gains and losses associated with benefit obligations were recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were amortized into earnings over the remaining service life of participants to the extent that the amounts were in excess of a corridor. Under the new policy, actuarial gains and losses will be recognized immediately in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as of the measurement date, which is our fiscal year end, or more frequently if an interim remeasurement is required. In addition, we will no longer use a market-related value of plan assets, which is an average value, to determine the expected return on assets but rather will use the fair value of plan assets. We believe the new policies will provide greater transparency to ongoing operating results and better reflect the impact of current market conditions on the obligations and assets. The changes in policy were applied retrospectively to all periods presented. As of August 4, 2014, the cumulative effect of these changes on the opening balance sheet was a $715 decrease to Earnings retained in the business, a decrease of $2 to Inventories, a $714 reduction to Accumulated other comprehensive loss, and an increase of $1 to Other current assets. We recognized mark-to-market losses of $128 ( $80 after tax, or $.26 per share) i n the first quarter of 2016 as certain U.S. plans were remeasured. The remeasurement was required due to a high level of lump sum payments to certain vested plan participants arising primarily out of a limited-time offer to accept a single lump sum in lieu of future annuity payments. No remeasurement was required in the first quarter of 2015. The impacts of the changes in policy to the consolidated financial statements are summarized below: Three months ended November 1, 2015 Three months ended November 2, 2014 Consolidated Statements of Earnings Prior Accounting Principles Effect of Accounting Change As Reported Previously Reported Effect of Accounting Change Recast Cost of products sold $ 1,412 $ 36 $ 1,448 $ 1,472 $ (12 ) $ 1,460 Marketing and selling expenses 216 10 226 247 (4 ) 243 Administrative expenses 149 7 156 135 (4 ) 131 Research and development expenses 29 3 32 29 (1 ) 28 Earnings before interest and taxes 371 (56 ) 315 368 21 389 Earnings before taxes 343 (56 ) 287 343 21 364 Taxes on earnings 110 (17 ) 93 109 7 116 Net earnings 233 (39 ) 194 234 14 248 Net earnings attributable to Campbell Soup Company $ 233 $ (39 ) $ 194 $ 234 $ 14 $ 248 Earnings per share — Basic (1) $ .75 $ (.13 ) $ .63 $ .75 $ .04 $ .79 Earnings per share — Diluted $ .75 $ (.13 ) $ .62 $ .74 $ .04 $ .78 ________________________________________________________ (1) The sum of the individual per share amounts may not add due to rounding Three months ended November 1, 2015 Three months ended November 2, 2014 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income Prior Accounting Principles Effect of Accounting Change As Reported Previously Reported Effect of Accounting Change Recast Foreign currency translation: Foreign currency translation adjustments $ (26 ) $ — $ (26 ) $ (83 ) $ 2 $ (81 ) Pension and other postretirement benefits Net actuarial gain (loss) arising during the period (136 ) 136 — 4 (4 ) — Reclassification of net actuarial loss included in net earnings 77 (77 ) — 24 (24 ) — Tax benefit / (expense) $ 22 $ (22 ) $ — $ (10 ) $ 10 $ — November 1, 2015 August 2, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheets Prior Accounting Principles Effect of Accounting Change As Reported Previously Reported Effect of Accounting Change Recast Inventories $ 1,044 $ 5 $ 1,049 $ 993 $ 2 $ 995 Other current assets 198 (2 ) 196 199 (1 ) 198 Accrued income taxes 119 4 123 29 — 29 Earnings retained in the business 2,629 (779 ) 1,850 2,494 (740 ) 1,754 Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income $ (978 ) 778 $ (200 ) $ (909 ) 741 $ (168 ) Three months ended November 1, 2015 Three months ended November 2, 2014 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Prior Accounting Principles Effect of Accounting Change As Reported Previously Reported Effect of Accounting Change Recast Cash flow from operating activities: Net earnings $ 233 $ (39 ) $ 194 $ 234 $ 14 $ 248 Pension and postretirement benefit expense / (income) — 133 133 — (6 ) (6 ) Deferred income taxes (14 ) (21 ) (35 ) 2 7 9 Other, net 73 (74 ) (1 ) 19 (18 ) 1 Inventories (53 ) (3 ) (56 ) (98 ) 3 (95 ) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 68 $ 4 $ 72 $ 132 — $ 132 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 218 $ — $ 218 $ 188 $ — $ 188 |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. The guidance was originally effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue guidance by one year to fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities will be permitted to adopt the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date. The guidance permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, as well as which transition method we will use. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance should be applied either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments for business combinations. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years and should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date. We will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions. In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Previous guidance required deferred tax liabilities and assets to be separated into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business and Geographic Segment Information | Business and Geographic Segment Information Through the fourth quarter of 2015, we reported the results of our operations in the following reportable segments: U.S. Simple Meals; Global Baking and Snacking; International Simple Meals and Beverages; U.S. Beverages; and Bolthouse and Foodservice. As of the beginning of 2016, we are managing our businesses in three divisions focused mainly on product categories. The new divisions, which represent our operating and reportable segments, are as follows: • Americas Simple Meals and Beverages segment includes the retail and food service channel businesses in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. The segment includes the following products: Campbell’s condensed and ready-to-serve soups; Swanson broth and stocks; Prego pasta sauces; Pace Mexican sauces; Campbell’s gravies, pasta, beans and dinner sauces; Swanson canned poultry; Plum food and snacks; V8 juices and beverages; and Campbell’ s tomato juice. • Global Biscuits and Snacks segment includes Pepperidge Farm cookies, crackers, bakery and frozen products in U.S. retail; Arnott’s biscuits in Australia and Asia Pacific; and Kelsen cookies globally. The segment also includes the simple meals and shelf-stable beverages business in Australia and Asia Pacific. • Campbell Fresh includes Bolthouse Farms fresh carrots, carrot ingredients, refrigerated beverages and refrigerated salad dressings; Garden Fresh Gourmet salsa, hummus, dips and tortilla chips, which was acquired in June 2015; and the U.S. refrigerated soup business. We evaluate segment performance before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity hedging activities are excluded from segment operating earnings and are recorded in Corporate as these open positions represent hedges of future purchases. Upon closing of the contracts, the realized gain or loss is transferred to segment operating earnings, which allows the segments to reflect the economic effects of the hedge without exposure to quarterly volatility of unrealized gains and losses. In 2016, we elected to change our method of accounting for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans and the calculation of expected return on pension plan assets as discussed in Note 1. In 2016, we also modified our method of allocating pension and postretirement benefit costs to segments. Through 2015, we included all components of benefit expense in measuring segment performance. In 2016, only service cost is allocated to segments. All other components of expense, including interest cost, expected return on assets, and recognized actuarial gains and losses are reflected in Corporate and not included in segment operating results. Asset information by segment is not discretely maintained for internal reporting or used in evaluating performance. Segment results have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these revisions.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract] | |
Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges and Cost Savings Initiatives 2015 Initiatives On January 29, 2015, we announced plans to implement a new enterprise design focused mainly on product categories. Under the new design, which we fully implemented at the beginning of 2016, our businesses are organized in the following divisions: Americas Simple Meals and Beverages, Global Biscuits and Snacks, and Campbell Fresh. In support of the new enterprise design, we designed and implemented a new Integrated Global Services (IGS) organization to deliver shared services across the company. IGS, which became effective at the beginning of 2016, is expected to reduce costs while increasing our efficiency and effectiveness. We are also pursuing other initiatives to reduce costs and increase effectiveness, such as streamlining our organizational structure and adopting zero-based budgeting over time. As part of these initiatives, we commenced a voluntary employee separation program available to certain U.S.-based salaried employees nearing retirement who met age, length-of-service and business unit/function criteria. A total of 471 employees elected the program. The electing employees remained with us through July 31, 2015, with some remaining beyond July 31. We also implemented an initiative to reduce overhead across the organization by eliminating approximately 230 positions. In the first quarter of 2016, we recorded a restructuring charge of $21 . In 2015, we recorded a restructuring charge of $102 related to these initiatives. In the first quarter of 2016, we also incurred charges of $15 recorded in Administrative expenses related to the implementation of the new organizational structure and cost savings initiatives. In 2015,we incurred charges of $22 recorded in Administrative expenses related to the these initiatives. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges, implementation costs and other related costs recorded in the first quarter of 2016 was $23 , or $.07 per share. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and implementation and other costs recorded in 2015 was $78 , or $.25 per share. A summary of the pre-tax costs associated with the 2015 initiatives is as follows: Recognized Severance pay and benefits $ 115 Implementation costs and other related costs 45 Total $ 160 The total estimated pre-tax costs for the 2015 initiatives are approximately $250 to $325 . We expect to incur these costs through 2018. We expect the costs to consist of approximately $150 to $165 in severance pay and benefits, and approximately $100 to $160 in implementation costs and other related costs.We expect the total pre-tax costs related to the 2015 initiatives will be associated with segments as follows: Americas Simple Meals and Beverages - approximately 32% ; Global Biscuits and Snacks - approximately 31% ; Campbell Fresh - approximately 3% ; and Corporate - approximately 34% . A summary of the restructuring activity and related reserves associated with the 2015 initiatives at November 1, 2015 , is as follows: Severance Pay and Benefits Other Restructuring Costs Implementation Costs and Other Related Costs (3) Total Charges Accrued balance at August 2, 2015 (1) $ 85 $ 8 2016 charges 21 — 15 $ 36 2016 cash payments (9 ) (8 ) Accrued balance at November 1, 2015 (2) $ 97 $ — ______________________________________ (1) Includes $45 of severance pay and benefits recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. (2) Includes $39 of severance pay and benefits recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. (3) Includes other costs recognized as incurred that are not reflected in the restructuring reserve in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The costs are included in Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges, implementation costs and other related costs because we evaluate segment performance excluding such charges. A summary of the pre-tax costs incurred to date associated with segments is as follows: Americas Simple Meals and Beverages Global Biscuits and Snacks Campbell Fresh Corporate Total Severance pay and benefits $ 57 $ 53 $ 1 $ 4 $ 115 Implementation costs and other related costs 7 5 — 33 45 $ 64 $ 58 $ 1 $ 37 $ 160 |

Earnings Per Share | Earnings per Share For the periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, the calculations of basic EPS and EPS assuming dilution vary in that the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution include the incremental effect of stock options and other share-based payment awards, except when such effect would be antidilutive. The earnings per share calculation for the three -month period ended November 1, 2015 excludes 711 thousand stock options that would have been antidilutive. There were no antidilutive stock options for the three -month period ended November 2, 2014 . |

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Pension And Postretirement Benefits | Pension and Postretirement Benefits We sponsor certain defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans for employees. In 2016, we elected to change our method of accounting for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans and the calculation of expected return on pension plan assets. Historically, actuarial gains and losses associated with benefit obligations were recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were amortized into earnings over the remaining service life of participants to the extent that the amounts were in excess of a corridor. Under the new policy, gains and losses will be recognized immediately in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as of the measurement date, which is our fiscal year end, or more frequently if an interim remeasurement is required. In addition, we will no longer use a market-related value of plan assets, which is an average value, to determine the expected return on assets but rather will use the fair value of plan assets. We believe the new policies will provide greater transparency to ongoing operating results and better reflect the impact of current market conditions on the obligations and assets. The changes in policy were applied retrospectively to all periods presented. See Note 1 for additional information on the change in accounting method. Components of net benefit expense (income) were as follows: Three Months Ended Pension Postretirement November 1, November 2, November 1, November 2, Service cost $ 7 $ 7 $ — $ — Interest cost 25 27 4 4 Expected return on plan assets (39 ) (44 ) — — Recognized net actuarial loss 136 — — — Net periodic benefit expense (income) $ 129 $ (10 ) $ 4 $ 4 The recognized net actuarial loss in the first quarter of 2016 resulted from the remeasurement of certain U.S. plans. The remeasurement was required due to a high level of lump sum payments to certain vested plan participants arising primarily out of a limited-time offer to accept a single lump sum in lieu of future annuity payments. No remeasurement was required in the first quarter of 2015. No contributions are expected to be made to U.S. pension plans in 2016. Contributions to non-U.S. pension plans during the three -month period ended November 1, 2015 were $1 . We expect contributions to non-U.S. pension plans during the remainder of the year to be approximately $3 . |
Financial Instruments

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The principal market risks to which we are exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. In addition, we are exposed to equity price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, options, forwards and commodity futures. We enter into these derivative contracts for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures, and the contracts do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and do not use leveraged instruments. Our derivative programs include instruments that qualify and others that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Concentration of Credit Risk We are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, we enter into contracts only with carefully selected, leading, credit-worthy financial institutions, and distribute contracts among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. We do not have credit-risk-related contingent features in our derivative instruments as of November 1, 2015 . During 2015, our largest customer accounted for approximately 20% of consolidated net sales. We closely monitor credit risk associated with counterparties and customers. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to our international operations, including non-functional currency intercompany debt and net investments in subsidiaries. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. Principal currencies hedged include the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and U.S. dollar. We utilize foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts, as well as cross-currency swaps, to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge portions of our forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for periods typically up to 18 months. To hedge currency exposures related to intercompany debt, we enter into foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts, for periods consistent with the underlying debt. As of November 1, 2015 , cross-currency swap contracts mature between 9 and 21 months . The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $51 at November 1, 2015 , and $53 at August 2, 2015 . The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on the same line item and the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $452 and $480 at November 1, 2015 , and August 2, 2015 , respectively. Interest Rate Risk We manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps in order to maintain our variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. Receive fixed rate/pay variable rate interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair-value hedges. We manage our exposure to interest rate volatility on future debt issuances by entering into forward starting interest rate swaps to lock in the rate on the interest payments related to the anticipated debt issuances. These pay fixed rate/receive variable rate forward starting interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash-flow hedges. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Earnings over the life of the debt. The notional amount of outstanding forward starting interest rate swaps totaled $300 at November 1, 2015 and August 2, 2015 , which relates to an anticipated debt issuance in 2018. Commodity Price Risk We principally use a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. We also enter into commodity futures, options and swap contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of diesel fuel, wheat, soybean oil, aluminum, natural gas, cocoa, butter, corn and cheese, which impact the cost of raw materials. Commodity futures, options, and swap contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge a portion of commodity requirements for periods typically up to 18 months. There were no commodity contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges as of November 1, 2015 , or August 2, 2015 . The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was $95 at November 1, 2015 , and August 2, 2015 . Equity Price Risk We enter into swap contracts which hedge a portion of exposures relating to certain deferred compensation obligations linked to the total return of our capital stock, the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index, and the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index. Under these contracts, we pay variable interest rates and receive from the counterparty either the total return on our capital stock; the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index; or the total return of the iShares MSCI EAFE Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index. These contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. We enter into these contracts for periods typically not exceeding 12 months. The notional amounts of the contracts as of November 1, 2015 , and August 2, 2015 , were $48 and $49 , respectively. The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 1, 2015 , and August 2, 2015 : Balance Sheet Classification November 1, August 2, Asset Derivatives Derivatives designated as hedges: Foreign exchange forward contracts Other current assets $ 2 $ 3 Total derivatives designated as hedges $ 2 $ 3 Derivatives not designated as hedges: Commodity derivative contracts Other current assets $ 2 $ 1 Cross-currency swap contracts Other current assets 18 18 Deferred compensation derivative contracts Other current assets 1 1 Foreign exchange forward contracts Other current assets 5 9 Cross-currency swap contracts Other assets 22 22 Total derivatives not designated as hedges $ 48 $ 51 Total asset derivatives $ 50 $ 54 Balance Sheet Classification November 1, August 2, Liability Derivatives Derivatives designated as hedges: Forward starting interest rate swaps Other liabilities $ 16 $ 8 Total derivatives designated as hedges $ 16 $ 8 Derivatives not designated as hedges: Commodity derivative contracts Accrued liabilities $ 9 $ 10 Foreign exchange forward contracts Accrued liabilities 1 2 Total derivatives not designated as hedges $ 10 $ 12 Total liability derivatives $ 26 $ 20 We do not offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if we were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 1, 2015 , and August 2, 2015 , would be adjusted as detailed in the following table: November 1, 2015 August 2, 2015 Derivative Instrument Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements Net Amount Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements Net Amount Total asset derivatives $ 50 $ (20 ) $ 30 $ 54 $ (13 ) $ 41 Total liability derivatives $ 26 $ (20 ) $ 6 $ 20 $ (13 ) $ 7 We do not offset fair value amounts recognized for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments and cash margin accounts executed with the same counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. We are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of open positions. At November 1, 2015 , and August 2, 2015 , a cash margin account balance of $12 was included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables show the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges for the three months ended November 1, 2015 , and November 2, 2014 , in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) and the Consolidated Statements of Earnings: Derivatives Designated as Cash-Flow Hedges Total Cash-Flow Hedge OCI Activity Three Months Ended November 1, November 2, OCI derivative gain (loss) at beginning of year $ (10 ) $ (4 ) Effective portion of changes in fair value recognized in OCI: Foreign exchange forward contracts — 3 Forward starting interest rate swaps (8 ) (4 ) Amount of (gain) loss reclassified from OCI to earnings: Location in Earnings Foreign exchange forward contracts Cost of products sold (2 ) — Foreign exchange forward contracts Other expenses / (income) (1 ) — Forward starting interest rate swaps Interest expense 1 1 OCI derivative gain (loss) at end of quarter $ (20 ) $ (4 ) Based on current valuations, the amount expected to be reclassified from OCI into earnings within the next 12 months is a gain of $5 .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements We categorize financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy: • Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs, which are valued based on our estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When available, we use unadjusted quoted market prices to measure the fair value and classify such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, we base fair value upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Included in the fair value of derivative instruments is an adjustment for credit and nonperformance risk. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 1, 2015 , and August 2, 2015 , consistent with the fair value hierarchy: Fair Value Fair Value Measurements at Fair Value Fair Value Measurements at Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Foreign exchange forward contracts (2) $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — $ 12 $ — $ 12 $ — Commodity derivative contracts (3) 2 2 — — 1 1 — — Cross-currency swap contracts (4) 40 — 40 — 40 — 40 — Deferred compensation derivative contracts (5) 1 — 1 — 1 — 1 — Total assets at fair value $ 50 $ 2 $ 48 $ — $ 54 $ 1 $ 53 $ — Fair Value Fair Value Measurements at Fair Value Fair Value Measurements at Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities Forward starting interest rate swaps (1) $ 16 $ — $ 16 $ — $ 8 $ — $ 8 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts (2) 1 — 1 — 2 — 2 — Commodity derivative contracts (3) 9 8 1 — 10 10 — — Deferred compensation obligation (6) 126 126 — — 120 120 — — Total liabilities at fair value $ 152 $ 134 $ 18 $ — $ 140 $ 130 $ 10 $ — ___________________________________ (1) Based on LIBOR swap rates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, excluding the current portion of long-term debt, approximate fair value. Cash equivalents of $35 at November 1, 2015 , and $39 at August 2, 2015 , represent fair value as these highly liquid investments have an original maturity of three months or less. Fair value of cash equivalents is based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt in Short-term borrowings, was $2,611 at November 1, 2015 , and $2,623 at August 2, 2015 . The carrying value was $2,551 at November 1, 2015 , and $2,552 at August 2, 2015 . The fair value of long-term debt is principally estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. |

Share Repurchases | Share Repurchases In June 2011, the Board authorized the purchase of up to $1,000 of our stock. This program has no expiration date. In addition to this publicly announced program, we also purchase shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation plans. During the three months ended November 1, 2015 , we repurchased approximately 1 million shares at a cost of $32 . Of this amount, $25 was used to repurchase shares pursuant to our June 2011 publicly announced share repurchase program. Approximately $525 remained available under this program as of November 1, 2015 . During the three months ended November 2, 2014 , we repurchased approximately 2 million shares at a cost of $73 . |

Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation We provide compensation benefits by issuing stock options, unrestricted stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units (including time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, total shareholder return (TSR) performance restricted stock units, strategic performance restricted stock units and special performance restricted stock units). In 2016, we issued stock options, time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units and TSR performance restricted stock units. We did not issue strategic performance restricted stock units or special performance restricted stock units in 2016. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings was $13 for the three-month periods ended November 1, 2015 , and November 2, 2014 . Tax-related benefits of $5 were also recognized for the three-month periods ended November 1, 2015 , and November 2, 2014 . Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1 and $6 for the three-month periods ended November 1, 2015 , and November 2, 2014 , respectively, and is reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following table summarizes stock option activity as of November 1, 2015 : Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value (Options in thousands) (In years) Outstanding at August 2, 2015 74 $ 29.91 Granted 711 $ 50.21 Exercised (21 ) $ 29.91 Terminated — $ — Outstanding at November 1, 2015 764 $ 48.79 9.2 $ 2 Exercisable at November 1, 2015 53 $ 29.91 0.2 $ 1 The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three -month period ended November 1, 2015 was not material. During the three -month period ended November 2, 2014 , the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $4 . As of November 1, 2015 , total remaining unearned compensation related to unvested stock options was $4 , which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.7 years . We measure the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term of options granted was based on the weighted average time of vesting and the end of the contractual term. We utilized this simplified method as we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for grants in 2016: 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.68% Expected dividend yield 2.46% Expected volatility 18.35% Expected term 6 years The following table summarizes time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, strategic performance restricted stock units and special performance restricted stock units as of November 1, 2015 : Units Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value (Restricted stock units in thousands) Nonvested at August 2, 2015 2,410 $ 41.40 Granted 659 $ 49.94 Vested (791 ) $ 39.30 Forfeited (118 ) $ 42.46 Nonvested at November 1, 2015 2,160 $ 44.72 We determine the fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, strategic performance restricted stock units and special performance restricted stock units based on the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expense time-lapse restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. We expense EPS performance restricted stock units on a graded-vesting basis, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. There were 211 thousand EPS performance target grants outstanding at November 1, 2015 , with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $45.32 . We expense strategic performance restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period. Awards of the strategic performance restricted stock units are earned based upon the achievement of two key metrics, net sales and EPS growth, compared to strategic plan objectives during a two- or three-year period. There were 346 thousand strategic performance target grants outstanding at November 1, 2015 , with a grant-date fair value of $41.21 . The actual number of EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could range from either 0% or 100% and 0% to 200% , respectively, of the initial grant, depending on actual performance achieved. We estimate expense based on the number of awards expected to vest. In 2015, we issued special performance restricted stock units for which vesting is contingent upon meeting various financial goals and performance milestones to support innovation and growth initiatives. These awards vest over a period of 2 years and are included in the table above. The actual number of special performance awards issued at the vesting date could range from 0% to 150% . There were 126 thousand special performance restricted stock units outstanding at November 1, 2015 , with a grant-date fair value of $42.22 . As of November 1, 2015 , total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, strategic performance restricted stock units and special performance restricted stock units was $52 , which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.9 years . The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the three -month periods ended November 1, 2015 , and November 2, 2014 , was $40 and $52 , respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the three months ended November 2, 2014 was $42.24 . The following table summarizes TSR performance restricted stock units as of November 1, 2015 : Units Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value (Restricted stock units in thousands) Nonvested at August 2, 2015 1,579 $ 40.75 Granted 682 $ 62.44 Vested (438 ) $ 39.76 Forfeited (70 ) $ 43.71 Nonvested at November 1, 2015 1,753 $ 49.31 We estimated the fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows: 2016 2015 Risk-free interest rate 0.92% 0.97% Expected dividend yield 2.46% 2.91% Expected volatility 17.25% 16.20% Expected term 3 years 3 years We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period. As of November 1, 2015 , total remaining unearned compensation related to TSR performance restricted stock units was $54 , which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 2.5 years. The fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units vested during the three -month period ended November 1, 2015 was $22 . There were no TSR performance restricted stock units scheduled to vest in the three -month period ended November 2, 2014 . The grant-date fair value of the TSR performance restricted stock units granted during 2015 was $43.39 . The excess tax benefits on the exercise of stock options and vested restricted stock presented as cash flows from financing activities for the three -month periods ended November 1, 2015 and November 2, 2014 were $6 and $5 , respectively. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Pension and Postretirement Policy | In 2016 , we elected to change our method of accounting for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans and the calculation of expected return on pension plan assets. Historically, actuarial gains and losses associated with benefit obligations were recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were amortized into earnings over the remaining service life of participants to the extent that the amounts were in excess of a corridor. Under the new policy, actuarial gains and losses will be recognized immediately in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as of the measurement date, which is our fiscal year end, or more frequently if an interim remeasurement is required. In addition, we will no longer use a market-related value of plan assets, which is an average value, to determine the expected return on assets but rather will use the fair value of plan assets. We believe the new policies will provide greater transparency to ongoing operating results and better reflect the impact of current market conditions on the obligations and assets. The changes in policy were applied retrospectively to all periods presented. As of August 4, 2014, the cumulative effect of these changes on the opening balance sheet was a $715 decrease to Earnings retained in the business, a decrease of $2 to Inventories, a $714 reduction to Accumulated other comprehensive loss, and an increase of $1 to Other current assets. We recognized mark-to-market losses of $128 ( $80 after tax, or $.26 per share) i n the first quarter of 2016 as certain U.S. plans were remeasured.
