Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentations and Significant 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 consolidated financial statements include our accounts and entities in which we maintain a controlling financial interest and a variable interest entity (VIE) for which we were the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. See Note 3 for a discussion of Discontinued Operations. The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair statement 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, 2020. 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, which is August 1, 2021. There are 52 weeks in 2021. There were 53 weeks in 2020. |

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years. We adopted the new guidance at the beginning of the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities have the option to apply the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis at the beginning of the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that changes the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the accounting for income taxes. The guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes and also improves consistent application of accounting by clarifying or amending existing guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance that provides optional expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Optional expedients can be applied from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | Divestitures Discontinued Operations We completed the sale of our Kelsen business on September 23, 2019, for $322. We also completed the sale of our Arnott’s business and certain other international operations, including the simple meals and shelf-stable beverages businesses in Australia and Asia Pacific (the Arnott's and other international operations), on December 23, 2019, for $2,286. The purchase price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which resulted in $4 of additional proceeds in the third quarter of 2020. B eginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, we have reflected the results of operations of the Kelsen business and the Arnott’s and other international operations (collectively referred to as Campbell International) as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented. These businesses were historically included in the Snacks reportable segment. Results of Campbell International in 2020 were as follows: Nine Months Ended April 26, 2020 Net sales $ 359 Earnings before taxes from operations $ 53 Taxes on earnings from operations 17 Gain on sales of businesses / costs associated with selling the businesses 1,039 Tax expense on sales of businesses / costs associated with selling the businesses 39 Earnings from discontinued operations $ 1,036 In the third quarter of 2021, we recognized a $6 Loss from discontinued operations due to tax expense from return-to- provision adjustments related to the sales of the businesses. Under the terms of the sale of the Arnott's and other international operations, we entered into a long-term licensing arrangement for the exclusive rights to certain Campbell brands in certain non-U.S. markets. We provide certain transition services to support the divested business. Cash flow activity of Campbell International included the following: Nine Months Ended April 26, 2020 Cash flows from discontinued operating activities: Net gain on sales of discontinued operations businesses $ 1,039 Cash flows from discontinued investing activities: Capital expenditures $ 30 Sales of discontinued operations businesses, net of cash divested $ 2,466 Other Divestitures On October 11, 2019, we completed the sale of our European chips business for £63, or $77. The pre-tax loss recognized in the first quarter of 2020 on the sale was $64, which included the impact of allocated goodwill and foreign currency translation adjustments. For tax purposes, in the first quarter of 2020, the capital loss on the sale was offset by a valuation allowance. In the second quarter of 2020, we recognized a $19 tax benefit in continuing operations as we were able to use the capital loss on this sale to offset a portion of the capital gain from the sale of the Arnott's and other international operations. The European chips business had net sales of $25 for the nine-month period ended April 26, 2020. Earnings were not material in the period. The results of the European chips business through the date of sale were reflected in continuing operations within the Snacks reportable segment. Pending Divestiture Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on May 3, 2021, we completed the sale of our Plum baby food and snacks business for $101, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The purchase agreement contained customary representations, warranties, indemnifications and other obligations between us and the buyer. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain claims against the Plum baby food and snacks business alleging the presence of heavy metals in the products manufactured or sold on or prior to May 2, 2021, that were pending at the time of closing of the transaction or are asserted within two years thereafter. The after-tax gain on sale was not material. The business had net sales of $22 and $68 for the three- and nine-month periods ended May 2, 2021, and $27 and $79 for the three- and nine-month periods ended April 26, 2020, respectively. Earnings were not material in the periods. The results of the business through the date of sale are reflected in continuing operations within the Meals & Beverages reportable segment. The assets and liabilities of the business have been reflected as current Assets of business held for sale and current Liabilities of business held for sale as of May 2, 2021. The assets and liabilities were as follows: May 2, 2021 Accounts receivable, net $ 1 Inventories 15 Plant assets, net of depreciation 24 Goodwill 12 Other intangible assets, net of amortization 70 Total assets $ 122 Payable to suppliers and others $ 10 Accrued liabilities 1 Deferred taxes 14 Total liabilities $ 25 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business and Geographic Segment Information | Segment Information Our reportable segments are as follows: • Meals & Beverages, which includes the retail and foodservice businesses in the U.S. and Canada. The segment includes the following products: Campbell’s condensed and ready-to-serve soups; Swanson broth and stocks; Pacific Foods broth, soups and non-dairy beverages; Prego pasta sauces; Pace Mexican sauces; Campbell’s gravies, pasta, beans and dinner sauces; Swanson canned poultry; Plum baby food and snacks; V8 juices and beverages; and Campbell’s tomato juice; and • Snacks, which consists of Pepperidge Farm cookies, crackers, fresh bakery and frozen products in U.S. retail, including Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse * cookies and bakery products, Milano* cookies and Goldfish* crackers; and Snyder’s of Hanover* pretzels, Lance* sandwich crackers, Cape Cod* and Kettle Brand* potato chips, Late July* snacks, Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps,* Pop Secret popcorn, Emerald nuts, and other snacking products in the U.S. and Canada. The segment includes the retail business in Latin America. The segment also included the results of our European chips business, which was sold on October 11, 2019. We refer to the * trademarks as our "power brands." We evaluate segment performance before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities and impairment charges. Unrealized gains and losses on undesignated 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. Only the service cost component of pension and postretirement expense is allocated to segments. All other components of expense, including interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service credits 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.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract] | |
Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges and Cost Savings Initiatives Multi-year Cost Savings Initiatives and Snyder's-Lance Cost Transformation Program and Integration Beginning in fiscal 2015, we implemented initiatives to reduce costs and to streamline our organizational structure. In recent years, we expanded these initiatives by further optimizing our supply chain and manufacturing networks, including closing our manufacturing facility in Toronto, Ontario, as well as our information technology infrastructure. On March 26, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Snyder's-Lance, Inc. (Snyder's-Lance). Prior to the acquisition, Snyder's-Lance launched a cost transformation program following a comprehensive review of its operations with the goal of significantly improving its financial performance. We continue to implement this program. In addition, we have identified opportunities for additional cost synergies as we integrate Snyder's-Lance. Cost estimates, as well as timing for certain activities, are continuing to be developed. A summary of the pre-tax charges recorded in Earnings from continuing operations related to these initiatives is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended May 2, 2021 April 26, 2020 May 2, 2021 April 26, 2020 Recognized as of May 2, 2021 Restructuring charges $ 2 $ — $ 21 $ 10 $ 259 Administrative expenses 11 10 21 31 332 Cost of products sold 2 4 1 6 77 Marketing and selling expenses — — — 2 12 Research and development expenses — — — 1 4 Total pre-tax charges $ 15 $ 14 $ 43 $ 50 $ 684 A summary of the pre-tax costs in Earnings from discontinued operations associated with these initiatives is as follows: Recognized as of May 2, 2021 Severance pay and benefits $ 19 Implementation costs and other related costs 4 Total $ 23 As of April 28, 2019, we incurred substantially all of the costs for actions associated with discontinued operations. All of the costs were cash expenditures. A summary of the pre-tax costs in Earnings from continuing operations associated with the initiatives is as follows: Recognized as of May 2, 2021 Severance pay and benefits $ 221 Asset impairment/accelerated depreciation 81 Implementation costs and other related costs 382 Total $ 684 The total estimated pre-tax costs for actions associated with continuing operations that have been identified are approximately $700 to $730 and we expect to incur the costs through 2022. This estimate will be updated as costs for the expanded initiatives are developed. We expect the costs for actions associated with continuing operations that have been identified to date to consist of the following: approximately $220 to $225 in severance pay and benefits; approximately $85 in asset impairment and accelerated depreciation; and approximately $395 to $420 in implementation costs and other related costs. We expect these pre-tax costs to be associated with our segments as follows: Meals & Beverages - approximately 32%; Snacks - approximately 44%; and Corporate - approximately 24%. Of the aggregate $700 to $730 of pre-tax costs associated with continuing operations identified to date, we expect approximately $600 to $630 will be cash expenditures. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $430 in capital expenditures through 2022, of which we invested $382 as of May 2, 2021. The capital expenditures primarily relate to a U.S. warehouse optimization project, improvement of quality, safety and cost structure across the Snyder’s-Lance manufacturing network, implementation of our existing SAP enterprise-resource planning system for Snyder's-Lance, transition of production of the Toronto manufacturing facility to our U.S. thermal plants, optimization of information technology infrastructure and applications and optimization of the Snyder’s-Lance warehouse and distribution network. A summary of the restructuring activity and related reserves associated with continuing operations at May 2, 2021, is as follows: Severance Pay and Benefits Implementation Costs and Other Related Costs (3) Asset Impairment/Accelerated Depreciation Other Non-Cash Exit Costs (4) Total Charges Accrued balance at August 2, 2020 (1) $ 15 2021 charges 6 19 14 4 $ 43 2021 cash payments (12) Accrued balance at May 2, 2021 (2) $ 9 __________________________________ (1) Includes $3 of severance pay and benefits recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The costs are included in Administrative expenses and Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. (4) Includes non-cash costs that are not reflected in the restructuring reserve in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges, implementation costs and other related costs because we evaluate segment performance excluding such charges.

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | Financial InstrumentsThe 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, rate locks, 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 for hedge accounting treatment and instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges. 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 did not have credit-risk-related contingent features in our derivative instruments as of May 2, 2021, or August 2, 2020. We are also exposed to credit risk from our customers. During 2020, our largest customer accounted for approximately 21% of consolidated net sales from continuing operations. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 44% of our consolidated net sales from continuing operations in 2020. We closely monitor credit risk associated with counterpartie s and customers. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to third-party transactions and intercompany transactions, including intercompany debt. Principal currencies hedged include the Canadian dollar and, prior to the sale of Arnott's and other international operations, the Australian dollar. We utilize foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts 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 for periods consistent with the underlying debt. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $128 as of May 2, 2021, and $164 as of August 2, 2020. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in earnings under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and is presented in the same statement of earnings line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and the amounts recognized in earnings is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). The notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $14 as of May 2, 2021, and $19 as of August 2, 2020. 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. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of a fair-value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the underlying hedged asset or liability, are recorded in current-period earnings. We manage our exposure to interest rate volatility on future debt issuances by entering into forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury rate lock contracts to lock in the rate on the interest payments related to the anticipated debt issuances. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the debt. The change in fair value on undesignated instruments is recorded in interest expense. There were no forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury rate lock contracts outstanding as of May 2, 2021, or August 2, 2020. 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 wheat, soybean oil, diesel fuel, natural gas, cocoa, aluminum, corn, soybean meal, and butter. 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. The notional amount of commodity contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $18 as of May 2, 2021. There were no commodity contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of August 2, 2020. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was $203 as of May 2, 2021, and $137 as of August 2, 2020. We have a supply contract under which prices for certain raw materials are established based on anticipated volume requirements over a twelve-month period. Certain prices under the contract are based in part on certain component parts of the raw materials that are in excess of our needs or not required for our operations, thereby creating an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. We net settle amounts due under the contract with our counterparty. The notional value was approximately $61 as of May 2, 2021, and $34 as of August 2, 2020. Unrealized gains (losses) and settlements are included in Cost of products sold in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. 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 Institutional Plus Shares, 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 Institutional Plus Shares; 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. Unrealized gains (losses) and settlements are included in Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We enter into these contracts for periods typically not exceeding 12 months. The notional amounts of the contracts were $35 as of May 2, 2021, and $22 as of August 2, 2020. The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 2, 2021, and August 2, 2020: Balance Sheet Classification May 2, 2021 August 2, 2020 Asset Derivatives Derivatives designated as hedges: Commodity derivative contracts Other current assets $ 2 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts Other current assets — 1 Total derivatives designated as hedges $ 2 $ 1 Derivatives not designated as hedges: Commodity derivative contracts Other current assets $ 35 $ 7 Deferred compensation derivative contracts Other current assets 2 4 Commodity derivative contracts Other assets 3 — Total derivatives not designated as hedges $ 40 $ 11 Total asset derivatives $ 42 $ 12 Balance Sheet Classification May 2, 2021 August 2, 2020 Liability Derivatives Derivatives designated as hedges: Foreign exchange forward contracts Accrued liabilities $ 7 $ 2 Total derivatives designated as hedges $ 7 $ 2 Derivatives not designated as hedges: Commodity derivative contracts Accrued liabilities $ — $ 9 Total derivatives not designated as hedges $ — $ 9 Total liability derivatives $ 7 $ 11 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.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements | 9 Months Ended |
May 02, 2021 | |
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 May 2, 2021, and August 2, 2020, 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 (1) $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ — Commodity derivative contracts (2) 40 21 18 1 7 3 2 2 Deferred compensation derivative contracts (3) 2 — 2 — 4 — 4 — Deferred compensation investments (4) 3 3 — — 3 3 — — Total assets at fair value $ 45 $ 24 $ 20 $ 1 $ 15 $ 6 $ 7 $ 2 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 Foreign exchange forward contracts (1) $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — $ 2 $ — $ 2 $ — Commodity derivative contracts (2) — — — — 9 5 4 — Deferred compensation obligation (4) 101 101 — — 92 92 — — Total liabilities at fair value $ 108 $ 101 $ 7 $ — $ 103 $ 97 $ 6 $ — ___________________________________ (1) Based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. (2) Level 1 and 2 are based on quoted futures exchanges and on observable prices of futures and options transactions in the marketplace. Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires management’s own assumptions within an internally developed model. (3) Based on LIBOR and equity index swap rates. (4) Based on the fair value of the participants’ investments. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities for the nine-month periods ended May 2, 2021, and April 26, 2020: Nine Months Ended May 2, 2021 April 26, 2020 (1) Fair value at beginning of year $ 2 $ 76 Gains (losses) 2 (46) Purchases — 1 Settlements (3) (1) Fair value at end of quarter $ 1 $ 30 ___________________________________ (1) Primarily represented investments in equity securities that were not readily marketable and were accounted for under the fair value option. The investments were funded by Acre, a limited partnership in which we were the sole limited partner. Fair value was based on analyzing recent transactions and transactions of comparable companies, and the discounted cash flow method. In addition, allocation methods, including the option pricing method, were used in distributing fair value among various equity holders according to rights and preferences. We entered into an agreement to sell our interest in Acre on April 26, 2020, and completed the sale on May 8, 2020. As a result of the pending sale, we adjusted the fair value as of April 26, 2020 based on the proceeds. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. There were no cash equivalents at May 2, 2021, and $157 at August 2, 2020. Cash equivalents 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 short- and long-term debt was $5,641 at May 2, 2021, and $6,995 at August 2, 2020. The carrying value was $5,201 at May 2, 2021, and $6,196 at August 2, 2020. 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. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Share Repurchases | Share Repurchases In March 2017, the Board authorized a strategic share repurchase program to purchase up to $1,500 (March 2017 program). The March 2017 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. In addition to the March 2017 program, we had a separate Board authorization to purchase shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation programs (anti-dilutive program). We suspended all of our share repurchases, including our anti-dilutive program, as of the second quarter of 2018. Approximately $1,296 remained available under the March 2017 program as of May 2, 2021, which remains suspended. In June 2021, the Board authorized a new anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 (June 2021 program) to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation programs. The June 2021 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the June 2021 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation We provide compensation benefits by issuing stock options, unrestricted stock and restricted stock units (including time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, total shareholder return (TSR) performance restricted stock units, and free cash flow (FCF) performance restricted stock units). In 2021, we issued time-lapse restricted stock units, unrestricted stock and TSR performance restricted stock units. We have not issued stock options, FCF performance restricted stock units, or EPS performance restricted stock units in 2021. In determining stock-based compensation expense, we estimate forfeitures expected to occur. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense and tax-related benefits recognized in Earnings from continuing operations were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended May 2, 2021 April 26, 2020 May 2, 2021 April 26, 2020 Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense $ 17 $ 14 $ 51 $ 45 Tax-related benefits $ 3 $ 3 $ 9 $ 9 In the nine-month period ended April 26, 2020, total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from discontinued operations was $2. The tax-related benefits were not material. The following table summarizes stock option activity as of May 2, 2021: Options Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate (Options in (In years) Outstanding at August 2, 2020 1,423 $ 45.42 Granted — $ — Exercised (51) $ 33.65 Terminated — $ — Outstanding at May 2, 2021 1,372 $ 45.61 6.2 $ 6 Exercisable at May 2, 2021 1,079 $ 48.36 5.8 $ 3 The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine-month period ended May 2, 2021 was not material. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine-month period ended April 26, 2020 was $2. We measured the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We expense stock options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. As of May 2, 2021, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested stock options was $1, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of less than one year. The following table summarizes time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units and FCF performance restricted stock units as of May 2, 2021: Units Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value (Restricted stock Nonvested at August 2, 2020 1,866 $ 43.18 Granted 887 $ 48.43 Vested (790) $ 42.82 Forfeited (129) $ 46.59 Nonvested at May 2, 2021 1,834 $ 45.64 We determine the fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units and EPS 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 expensed EPS performance restricted stock units on a graded-vesting basis, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which we expensed on an accelerated basis. The actual number of EPS performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date was either 0% or 100% of the initial grant, depending on actual performance achieved. We estimated expense based on the number of awards expected to vest. As of November 1, 2020, there were no EPS performance target grants outstanding. In 2019, we issued approximately 388 thousand FCF performance restricted stock units for which vesting is contingent upon achievement of free cash flow (defined as Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and certain investing and financing activities) compared to annual operating plan objectives over a three-year period. An annual objective was established each fiscal year for three consecutive years. Performance against these objectives will be averaged at the end of the three-year period to determine the number of underlying units that will vest at the end of the three years. The actual number of FCF performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant depending on actual performance achieved. The fair value of FCF performance restricted stock units is based upon the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expense FCF performance restricted stock units over the requisite service period of each objective. As of November 1, 2020, we have granted all of the issued FCF performance restricted stock units, which are included in the table above. There were 241 thousand FCF performance target grants outstanding at May 2, 2021, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $44.10. As of May 2, 2021, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units and FCF performance restricted units was $38, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.7 years. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the nine-month periods ended May 2, 2021, and April 26, 2020, was $38, and $34, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the nine-month period ended April 26, 2020 was $46.77. The following table summarizes TSR performance restricted stock units as of May 2, 2021: Units Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value (Restricted stock Nonvested at August 2, 2020 1,254 $ 47.83 Granted 521 $ 54.93 Vested (236) $ 39.39 Forfeited (296) $ 42.66 Nonvested at May 2, 2021 1,243 $ 53.63 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: 2021 2020 Risk-free interest rate 0.15% 1.48% Expected dividend yield 2.85% 2.95% Expected volatility 29.99% 27.01% Expected term 3 years 3 years We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. As of May 2, 2021, total remaining unearned compensation related to TSR performance restricted stock units was $30, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.8 years. In the first quarter of 2021, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 50% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 31, 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 0% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 26, 2019. The fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units vested during the nine-month period ended May 2, 2021 was $11. The grant-date fair value of the TSR performance restricted stock units granted during 2020 was $63.06. The excess tax benefits of $1 in the nine-month periods ended May 2, 2021 and April 26, 2020, on the exercise of stock options and vested restricted stock were presented as cash flows from operating activities. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $2 and $23 for the nine-month periods ended May 2, 2021, and April 26, 2020, respectively, and is reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Regulatory and Litigation Matters We are involved in various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings, including purported class actions, arising from the conduct of business both in the ordinary course and otherwise. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in pleadings, together with our actual experiences in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrates to us that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. Due to the unpredictable nature of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time is normally difficult to ascertain. Uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or at trial or on appeal. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view the relevant evidence and applicable law. On January 7, 2019, three purported shareholder class action lawsuits pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the Court) were consolidated under the caption, In re Campbell Soup Company Securities Litigation , Civ. No. 1:18-cv-14385-NLH-JS (the Action). Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System was appointed lead plaintiff in the Action and, on March 1, 2019, filed an amended consolidated complaint. The company, Denise Morrison (the company's former President and Chief Executive Officer), and Anthony DiSilvestro (the company's former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) are defendants in the Action. The amended consolidated complaint alleges that, in public statements between July 19, 2017 and May 17, 2018, the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or omitted material information about the company's business, operations, customer relationships, and prospects, specifically with regard to the Campbell Fresh segment. The amended consolidated complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On April 30, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint, which the Court granted on November 30, 2020, with leave to amend the complaint. On January 15, 2021, the plaintiff filed its second amended consolidated complaint. The second amended consolidated complaint again names as defendants the company and certain of its former officers and alleges that, in public statements between August 31, 2017 and May 17, 2018, the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or omitted material information about the company's business, operations, customer relationships, and prospects, specifically with regard to the Campbell Fresh segment. The second amended consolidated complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On March 10, 2021 the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended consolidated complaint. We are vigorously defending against the Action. We establish liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss contingencies when information related to the loss contingencies shows both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that some matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated as of May 2, 2021. While the potential future charges could be material in a particular quarter or annual period, based on information currently known by us, we do not believe any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Other Contingencies We have provided certain indemnifications in connection with divestitures, contracts and other transactions. Certain indemnifications have finite expiration dates. Liabilities recognized based on known exposures related to such matters were not material at May 2, 2021. |

The investments were funded by Acre, a limited partnership in which we were the sole limited partner. Fair value was based on analyzing recent transactions and transactions of comparable companies, and the discounted cash flow method. In addition, allocation methods, including the option pricing method, were used in distributing fair value among various equity holders according to rights and preferences. We entered into an agreement to sell our interest in Acre on April 26, 2020, and completed the sale on May 8, 2020. As a result of the pending sale, we adjusted the fair value as of April 26, 2020 based on the proceeds. |

[1] | Primarily represented investments in equity securities that were not readily marketable and were accounted for under the fair value option. The investments were funded by Acre, a limited partnership in which we were the sole limited partner. Fair value was based on analyzing recent transactions and transactions of comparable companies, and the discounted cash flow method. In addition, allocation methods, including the option pricing method, were used in distributing fair value among various equity holders according to rights and preferences. We entered into an agreement to sell our interest in Acre on April 26, 2020, and completed the sale on May 8, 2020. As a result of the pending sale, we adjusted the fair value as of April 26, 2020 based on the proceeds. |
