| Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE Pay versus Performance As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd - Frank Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S - K, the following table reports the compensation of our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) and the average compensation of the other NEOs as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for the past three fiscal years, as well as their “compensation actually paid,” and certain financial performance measures of the Company. The Compensation Committee did not consider "compensation actually paid" in its determination of PEO or other NEO compensation. For further information concerning our pay for performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 43.

Beekhuizen, Adam G. Ciongoli, Christopher D. Foley and Valerie J. Oswalt ● 2021: Mick J. Beekhuizen, Adam G. Ciongoli, Christopher D. Foley and Valerie J. Oswalt (2) The dollar amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year in the case of Mr. Clouse, and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year for our other NEOs for such years, as identified in footnote 1. (3) To calculate “compensation actually paid”, as computed pursuant to the SEC rules, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for Mr. Clouse and for the average of the other NEOs is set forth below. The amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by, or paid to the executive, during the applicable fiscal year.

(b) For awards subject to performance - based vesting conditions, the value is based on an estimate of the probable outcome of such performance-based vesting conditions as of the last day of the fiscal year, which is consistent with the same methodology used to determine the grant date fair value of the awards. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating these amounts. (4) Amounts included for each year reflect what the cumulative value of $100 would be, including the reinvestment of dividends, if such amount were invested on the last day of fiscal 2020. Peer Group TSR is calculated based upon the Company’s peer group (S&P 500 Packaged Foods Group) as reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2024. (5) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s financial statements for the applicable year. (6) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net sales | |||

| Awards Close in Time to MNPI Disclosures [Table] | |
| Award Timing MNPI Disclosure | Timing of Equity Grants We do not grant stock options or similar equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, nor do we time the public release of such information based on stock option grant dates. In addition, we do not grant stock options or similar equity awards during periods in which there is material nonpublic information about our Company, including (i) outside a “trading window” established in connection with the public release of earnings information under our Insider Trading Policy or (ii) at any time during the four business days prior to or the one business day following the filing of our periodic reports or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information. These restrictions do not apply to restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, or other types of equity awards that do not include an exercise price related to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The Committee eliminated the granting of stock options from its executive compensation program in 2020 in order to simplify the design of the LTI program. However, historically, stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. |
