Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation These interim consolidated financial statements of SunOpta Inc. (the "Company" or "SunOpta") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the quarter and two quarters ended June 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 28, 2024 or for any other period. The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2023. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023. Reclassification of Discontinued Operations As described in note 2, on October 12, 2023, the Company completed the divestiture of its frozen fruit business ("Frozen Fruit"). As a result, the operating results and cash flows of Frozen Fruit for the quarter and/or two quarters ended July 1, 2023, have been reclassified as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. In addition, the information disclosed in these notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements is presented on a continuing operations basis, with comparative period information recast to reflect Frozen Fruit as discontinued operations. Segment Information The Company manages its continuing operations on a company-wide basis, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources as one operating and reportable segment. T Fiscal Year The fiscal year of the Company consists of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2024 is a 52-week period ending on December 28, 2024, with quarterly periods ending on March 30, 2024, June 29, 2024 and September 28, 2024. Fiscal 2023 was a 52-week period ending on December 30, 2023, with quarterly periods ending on April 1, 2023, July 1, 2023 and September 30, 2023. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments' significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Additional Disclosures by Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations [Line Items]
Discontinued Operations [Text Block]	2. Discontinued Operations Divestiture of Frozen Fruit On October 12, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the Company, together with its subsidiaries Sunrise Growers, Inc. ("Sunrise Growers"), Sunrise Growers Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Sunrise Mexico") and SunOpta Mx, S.A. de C.V. ("SunOpta Mexico"), completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of Frozen Fruit pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") with Natures Touch Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Nature's Touch Frozen Fruits, LLC (the "Purchasers"). At the Closing Date, the estimated aggregate purchase price comprised cash consideration of $95.3 million; a short-term note receivable of $10.5 million, which was paid in five consecutive monthly installments of $2.1 million beginning 30 days following the Closing Date; secured seller promissory notes due in three years and with stated principal amounts of $15.0 million entered into by Sunrise Growers and $5.0 million entered into by SunOpta Mexico (the "Seller Promissory Notes"); and the assumption by the Purchasers of $15.7 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of Frozen Fruit. The estimated aggregate purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments based on a determination of the final net working capital and resulting aggregate purchase price as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Statement"), with adjustments to the aggregate purchase price determined on a separate and individual basis for each of Sunrise Growers, Sunrise Mexico and SunOpta Mexico. Any downward adjustment will be deducted from the principal amount of the Seller Promissory Notes entered into by Sunrise Growers and/or SunOpta Mexico, as the case may be, in an amount up to $5.0 million in the aggregate, with any additional downward adjustment payable by the Company to the Purchasers in cash. The portion of any upward adjustment in the aggregate purchase price not paid to the Company by the Purchasers in cash will be added to the principal amount of the Seller Promissory Notes entered into by Sunrise Growers and/or SunOpta Mexico, as applicable. As at June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $0.5 million net receivable from the Purchasers based on the Company's estimate of the final net working capital and post-closing adjustments, which is included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. However, this estimate may be subject to change, which could be material, as the parties are currently in the process of reconciling the final aggregate purchase price, including the resolution of certain disputed items in accordance with the procedures set forth in the APA. The Seller Promissory Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), determined quarterly in advance, plus a margin of 4.00% for the first year and 7.00% for the second and third years. Interest is payable quarterly in-kind. The Seller Promissory Notes mature on October 12, 2026, and outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is payable on the maturity date. As at June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the principal amount of the Seller Promissory Notes of $20.0 million, together with paid in kind interest of $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, was recorded in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As described above, the final principal amount of the Sellers Promissory Notes may change as a result of any upward or downward adjustment to the aggregate purchase price in connection with the resolution of the Closing Statement. As at June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had not recorded any allowance for credit losses related to the Seller Promissory Notes. The Seller Promissory Notes are secured by a second-priority lien on certain assets of Frozen Fruit acquired by the Purchasers. The table below presents the major components of the results of discontinued operations reported in the consolidated statement of operations for the quarters and two quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023. Quarter ended Two quarters ended June 29, 2024 July 1, 2023 June 29, 2024 July 1, 2023 $ $ $ $ Revenues - 66,646 - 135,557 Cost of goods sold (1) - 68,896 553 133,683 Selling, general and administrative expenses (2) - 2,616 621 4,977 Intangible asset amortization - 2,000 - 4,000 Other expense (income), net (3) - (165 ) 427 (172 ) Foreign exchange gain - (2,469 ) (101 ) (4,669 ) Interest expense - 404 23 552 Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes - (4,636 ) (1,523 ) (2,814 ) Income tax expense (4) 897 2,551 791 169 Net loss from discontinued operations (897 ) (7,187 ) (2,314 ) (2,983 ) (1) For the two quarters ended June 29, 2024, cost of goods sold reflects the write down in the carrying value of the frozen fruit inventory that was not acquired by the Purchasers to its estimated net realizable value. During the first two quarters of 2024, the Company completed the disposal of the $5.9 million of frozen fruit inventory held-for-sale as at December 30, 2023. (2) For the two quarters ended June 29, 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses include additional severance costs for former employees of Frozen Fruit not ultimately retained by the Purchasers, as well as the true-up of pre-divestiture profit-sharing bonuses payable to certain Mexican employees of Frozen Fruit. (3) For the two quarters ended June 29, 2024, other expense mainly related to an additional self-insured retention amount paid by the Company in connection with the settlement of certain claims related to the recall of specific frozen fruit products initiated in the second quarter of 2023 (see note 13), partially offset by gains on the settlement of certain pre-existing legal matters related to Frozen Fruit. (4) For the quarter and two quarters ended June 29, 2024, income tax expense reflects the final determination of the tax bases for the net assets of Frozen Fruit divested in Mexico.

Payables and Accruals [Abstract]
Notes Payable [Text Block]	6. Notes Payable The Company finances certain purchases of trade goods and services through third-party extended payables facilities. Under these facilities, third-party intermediaries advance the amount of the scheduled payment to the supplier based on the invoice due date and issue a short-term note payable to the Company for the face amount of the supplier invoice. Interest accrues on the note payable from the contractual payment date of the supplier invoice to the extended due date of the note payable, as specified by the negotiated terms of each facility. The Company does not maintain any form of security with the third-party intermediaries. As at June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding principal payment obligations to the third-party intermediaries of $16.4 million and $17.6 million in the aggregate, respectively, which is recorded as notes payable on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Class of Stock Disclosures [Abstract]
Series B-1 Preferred Stock [Text Block]	8. Series B-1 Preferred Stock As at June 29, 2024, the Company's subsidiary, SunOpta Foods Inc. ("SunOpta Foods"), had 15,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock ("Series B-1 Preferred Stock") issued and outstanding with Oaktree Organics, L.P. and Oaktree Huntington Investment Fund II, L.P. (collectively, "Oaktree"). As at June 29, 2024, the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series B-1 preferred stock was $15.2 million, or approximately $1,015 per share. The carrying value of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, net of unamortized issuance costs, is being accreted to the liquidation preference through charges to accumulated deficit, which amounted to $0.3 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2024 (July 1, 2023 - $0.3 million). In the first quarter of 2024, the Company paid cash dividends on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock of $0.3 million related to the fourth quarter of 2023 and accrued dividends of $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. On April 17, 2024, the Company, SunOpta Foods and Oaktree entered into an Amending Agreement related to the elimination of the dividend rights attached to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock effective from and after December 31, 2023. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock previously paid a cumulative dividend of 8.0% per year that could be paid in-kind or in cash at the Company's option, which dividend would have increased from 8.0% to 10.0% per year and become payable only in cash at the end of the Company's third quarter in 2029. All other rights and obligations of the Company, SunOpta Foods, and Oaktree in connection with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock remain unchanged. The Company is accounting for the elimination of the dividend rights on a prospective basis beginning in the second quarter of 2024, including the derecognition of the accrued dividend liability for the first quarter of 2024. At any time, Oaktree may exchange the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into the number of shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Shares") equal to, per share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the quotient of the liquidation preference divided by the exchange price of $2.50, while, at any time, SunOpta Foods may cause Oaktree to exchange all of their shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares during the then preceding 20 trading day period is greater than 200% of the exchange price then in effect. In addition, at any time on or after April 24, 2025, SunOpta Foods may redeem all of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock for an amount per share equal to the value of the liquidation preference at such time. As at June 29, 2024, the Company had 2,932,453 Special Shares, Series 2 issued and outstanding, all of which are held by Oaktree. The Special Shares, Series 2 serve as a mechanism for attaching exchanged voting rights to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and entitle the holder thereof to one vote per Special Share, Series 2 on all matters submitted to a vote of the holder of the Common Shares, voting together as a single class, subject to certain exemptions. As a result of a permanent voting cap, the number of Special Shares, Series 2 issued to Oaktree at any time, when taken together with any other voting securities Oaktree then controls, cannot exceed 19.99% of the votes eligible to be cast by all security holders of the Company.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation [Text Block]	9. Stock-Based Compensation Short-Term Incentive Plan On April 4, 2024, the Company granted 638,602 performance share units ("PSUs") to selected employees under the Company's 2024 Short-Term Incentive Plan ("STIP"), which vest subject to the Company achieving a predetermined measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for fiscal 2024 and subject to the employee's continued employment with the Company through April 1, 2025 (the requisite service period). The grant-date fair value of each PSU was estimated to be $6.42 based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the date of grant. For the period from the grant date to June 29, 2024, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.9 million related to these PSUs, with the remaining compensation cost not yet recognized as an expense determined to be $3.0 million as at June 29, 2024, which will be amortized over the remaining requisite service period. On April 1 2024, the Company issued 474,228 Common Shares, net of 344,276 Common Shares withheld for taxes, in connection with the vesting of 818,504 PSUs previously granted to selected employees under the Company's 2023 STIP. The total intrinsic value of these vested PSUs was $5.6 million. Long-Term Incentive Plan On April 30, 2024, the Company granted 157,070 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 252,656 PSUs and 243,660 stock options to selected employees under the Company's 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on April 30, 2025, and each vested RSU entitles the employee to receive one Common Share without payment of additional consideration. The vesting of one-half of the PSUs is contingent on the achievement of compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") benchmarks for revenue during the three-year performance period commencing January 1, 2024 and continuing through December 31, 2026, and the vesting of the other one-half of the PSUs is contingent on the achievement of return on invested capital ("ROIC") benchmarks within the same performance period, and subject to the employee's continued employment with the Company through April 30, 2027. The percentage of vested PSUs may range from 0% to 200% based on the Company's achievement of the predetermined CAGR and ROIC benchmarks. Each vested PSU entitles the employee to receive one Common Share without payment of additional consideration. The stock options vest ratably on each of the first through third anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Each vested stock option entitles the employee to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $6.55, which was the closing price of the Common Shares on April 30, 2024. The grant-date fair values of each RSU and PSU were estimated to be $6.55 based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the date of grant. A grant-date fair value of $4.18 was estimated for each stock option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Grant-date stock price $6.55 Exercise price $6.55 Dividend yield 0% Expected volatility (a) 65.9% Risk-free interest rate (b) 4.7% Expected life (in years) (c) 6.0 (a) Determined based on the historical volatility of the Common Shares over expected life of the stock options. (b) Determined based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. (c) Determined based on the mid-point of vesting (three years) and expiration (ten years) for the stock options. The aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs, PSUs and stock options granted under the 2024 LTIP was determined to be $5.4 million, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ending April 30, 2027. Special Awards On January 2, 2024, the Company granted special one-time awards of 144,404 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 288,808 performance share units ("PSUs") and 230,804 stock options to Brian Kocher in connection with his appointment as the Company's Chief Executive Officer effective January 2, 2024. On March 13, 2024, the Company granted Mr. Kocher an additional 74,000 RSUs, equal to the number of Common Shares purchased by Mr. Kocher on the open market within the 75-day period after his employment began. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, and each vested RSU entitles Mr. Kocher to receive one Common Share without payment of additional consideration. The vesting of the PSUs is dependent on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance relative to food and beverage companies in a designated index during the three-year period commencing January 1, 2024 and continuing through December 31, 2026, and subject to Mr. Kocher's continued employment with the Company through April 15, 2027. The TSR for the Company and each of the companies in the designated index will be calculated using a 20-trading day average closing price as of December 31, 2026. The percentage of vested PSUs may range from 0% to 200% based on the Company's achievement of predetermined TSR thresholds. Each vested PSU entitles Mr. Kocher to receive one Common Share without payment of additional consideration. The stock options vest ratably on each of the first through third anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Each vested stock option entitles Mr. Kocher to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $5.54, which was the closing price of the Common Shares on January 2, 2024. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the RSUs was estimated to be $6.05 based on the closing prices of Common Shares on the dates of grant. A grant-date fair value of $3.47 was estimated for the stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and a grant-date fair value of $7.73 was estimated for the PSUs using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The following table summarizes the inputs to the Black-Scholes option-pricing and Monte Carlo valuation models: Stock Options PSUs Grant-date stock price $ 5.54 $ 5.54 Exercise price $ 5.54 NA Dividend yield 0% 0% Expected volatility (a) 65.6% 58.4% Risk-free interest rate (b) 3.9% 4.1% Expected life (in years) (c) 6.0 3.0 (a) Determined based on the historical volatility of the Common Shares over the expected life of the stock options and performance period of the PSUs. (b) Determined based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options and performance period of the PSUs. (c) Determined based on the mid-point of vesting (three years) and expiration (ten years) for the stock options and the performance period for the PSUs. The aggregate grant-date fair value of the stock options, RSUs and PSUs awarded to Mr. Kocher was determined to be $4.4 million, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the stock options and RSUs and the performance period for the PSUs.

Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options, RSUs, and certain contingently issuable PSUs. For the quarter and two quarters ended June 29, 2024, stock options and RSUs to purchase or receive 2,801,823 (July 1, 2023 - 2,204,546) and 2,751,020 (July 1, 2023 - 2,192,755) potential common shares, respectively, were anti-dilutive because the assumed proceeds exceeded the average market price of the Common Shares for the respective periods. (2) For the quarters and two quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, it was more dilutive to assume the Series B-1 Preferred Stock was not converted into Common Shares and, therefore, the numerator of the diluted loss per share calculation was not adjusted to add back the dividends and accretion on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the denominator was not adjusted to include the 6,089,333 Common Shares issuable on an if-converted basis as at June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies [Text Block]	13. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings Various current and potential claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against the Company. The Company believes it has established adequate accruals for liabilities that are probable and reasonably estimable that may be incurred in connection with any such currently pending matter. In the Company's opinion, the eventual resolution of such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs. Product Withdrawal In the second quarter of 2024, the Company conducted a voluntary withdrawal from customers of certain batches of aseptically-packaged products that may have the potential for non-pathogenic microbial contamination. None of the withdrawn product made it into the consumer marketplace. For the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized direct costs related to the withdrawal of $2.1 million, net of expected insurance recoveries, in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company is seeking to recover a portion of the withdrawal-related costs through its insurance coverage, and such recoveries are recorded in the period in which the recoveries are determined to be probable of realization. As at June 29, 2024, the Company has recognized expected insurance recoveries related to the withdrawal of $6.9 million, which amount is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to incur additional costs related to the withdrawal in the third quarter of 2024, including product warehousing and destruction costs. Product Recall On June 21, 2023, the Company announced its subsidiary, Sunrise Growers Inc., had issued a voluntary recall of specific frozen fruit products linked to pineapple provided by a third-party supplier due to possible contamination by Listeria monocytogenes. Sunrise Growers Inc. is a component of the operations of Frozen Fruit. In connection with the divestiture of Frozen Fruit, the recall-related costs and estimated insurance recoveries are included in the loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no significant direct costs associated with the recall recognized in the first two quarters of 2024, and any additional costs are expected to be minimal. As at June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, estimated insurance recoveries of $1.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options, RSUs, and certain contingently issuable PSUs. For the quarter and two quarters ended June 29, 2024, stock options and RSUs to purchase or receive 2,801,823 (July 1, 2023 - 2,204,546) and 2,751,020 (July 1, 2023 - 2,192,755) potential common shares, respectively, were anti-dilutive because the assumed proceeds exceeded the average market price of the Common Shares for the respective periods. (2) For the quarters and two quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, it was more dilutive to assume the Series B-1 Preferred Stock was not converted into Common Shares and, therefore, the numerator of the diluted loss per share calculation was not adjusted to add back the dividends and accretion on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the denominator was not adjusted to include the 6,089,333 Common Shares issuable on an if-converted basis as at June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023. (3) The sum of the individual per share amounts may not add due to rounding.
