SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	Basis of Presentation
	The unaudited consolidated financial statements provided in this report include the accounts of The Hershey Company (the “Company,” “Hershey,” “we” or “us”) and our majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. We have a controlling financial interest if we own a majority of the outstanding voting common stock and the noncontrolling shareholders do not have substantive participating rights, or we have significant control over an entity through contractual or economic interests in which we are the primary beneficiary.
	The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not contain certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for comprehensive financial statements. Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro-rata share of certain estimated annual amounts primarily for raw material purchase price variances, advertising expense, incentive compensation expenses and the effective income tax rate. We have included all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that we believe are considered necessary for a fair presentation.
	Operating results for the quarter ended June 29, 2014 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 because of seasonal effects on our business. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (our “2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), which provides a more complete understanding of our accounting policies, financial position, operating results and other matters.
	Short-Term Investments
	Short-term investments consist of bank term deposits that have original maturity dates ranging from greater than three months to twelve months. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS	'
	BUSINESS ACQUISITION
	Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, their results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of the acquisitions. The purchase price for business acquisitions is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
	In March 2014, we acquired an additional 5.9% interest in Lotte Shanghai Food Company (“LSFC”), a joint venture established in 2007 in China for the purpose of manufacturing and selling product to the venture partners. For this additional interest, we paid $5,580 in cash, increasing our ownership from 44.1% to 50%. At the same time, we also amended the LSFC shareholders' agreement resulting in our operational control over the venture. With the additional operational control, we reassessed our involvement with LSFC and concluded that we now have a controlling financial interest. Therefore, we have consolidated the venture as of the March 2014 acquisition date. We had previously accounted for our investment in LSFC using the equity method.
	Total consideration transferred was approximately $99,161, including the $5,580 cash consideration paid, the estimated fair value of our previously held equity interest of $43,857 and the estimated fair value of the remaining noncontrolling interest in LSFC of $49,724, which fair values were determined using a market-based approach. The preliminary estimate of the fair value of the LSFC assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date was $99,449, including fixed assets of $106,253, short-term debt obligations of $13,292 and other net assets of $6,488. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation by the end of 2014.
	We recognized a gain of approximately $4,627 in connection with this transaction, primarily related to the remeasurement of the fair value of our equity interest immediately before the business combination. The gain is included in selling, marketing and administrative within our consolidated statement of income. Additionally, cash acquired in the transaction exceeded the $5,580 paid for the controlling interest by $10,035, resulting in a positive cash impact from the acquisition as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

	NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
	Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries totaled $63,293 as of June 29, 2014 and $11,218 as of December 31, 2013, with the increase primarily reflecting the 50% noncontrolling interest resulting from our March 2014 acquisition of LSFC, as discussed in Note 2.
	We also own a 51% controlling interest in Hershey do Brasil under a cooperative agreement with Pandurata Netherlands B.V. (“Bauducco”), a leading manufacturer of baked goods in Brazil whose primary brand is Bauducco. During the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, we contributed cash of $3,060 and $1,530, respectively, to Hershey do Brasil. Bauducco contributed $2,940 and $1,470 in each of these respective time periods.
	The share of losses pertaining to the noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries was $130 for the quarter ended June 29, 2014 and $1,054 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The share of losses pertaining to the noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries was $309 for the six months ended June 29, 2014 and $2,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These amounts are reflected in selling, marketing and administrative expenses.

BUSINESS REALIGNMENT	'
	BUSINESS REALIGNMENT
	In June 2010, we announced Project Next Century (the “Next Century program”) as part of our ongoing efforts to create an advantaged supply chain and competitive cost structure. As part of the Next Century program, production transitioned from the Company's century-old facility at 19 East Chocolate Avenue in Hershey, Pennsylvania, to an expanded West Hershey facility, which was built in 1992.
	Project-to-date costs for the Next Century program totaled $194.6 million through June 29, 2014, in line with our estimates of total pre-tax charges and non-recurring project implementation costs of $190 million to $200 million.
	Business realignment charges recorded during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE	Jun. 29, 2014
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE	'
	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE
	We are exposed to market risks arising principally from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We use certain derivative instruments to manage these risks. These include interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and options to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk, and commodities futures and options contracts to manage commodity market price risk exposures.
	We also use derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We account for such derivatives at market value with the resulting gains and losses reflected in the income statement. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes and are not a party to any instruments with leverage or prepayment features.
	In entering into these contracts, we have assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. We mitigate this risk by entering into exchanged-traded contracts with collateral posting requirements and/or by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties. We do not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults.
	Commodity Price Risk
	We enter into commodities futures and options contracts and other commodity derivative instruments to reduce the effect of future price fluctuations associated with the purchase of raw materials, energy requirements and transportation services. We generally hedge commodity price risks for 3 to 24 month periods. The majority of our commodity derivative instruments meet hedge accounting requirements and are designated as cash flow hedges. We account for the effective portion of mark-to-market gains and losses in other comprehensive income, to be recognized in cost of sales in the same period that we record the hedged raw material requirements in cost of sales. The ineffective portion of gains and losses is recorded currently in cost of sales.
	Foreign Exchange Price Risk
	We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our international operations, including non-functional currency intercompany debt and other non-functional currency transactions of certain subsidiaries. Principal currencies hedged include the euro, Canadian dollar, Malaysian ringgit, Swiss franc, Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen, and Brazilian real. We typically utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts and options to hedge these exposures for periods ranging from 3 to 24 months. The contracts are either designated as cash flow hedges or are undesignated. The net notional amount of foreign exchange contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges was $25,586 at June 29, 2014 and $158,375 at December 31, 2013. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these contracts is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The net notional amount of foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $498,213 at June 29, 2014 and $2,823 at December 31, 2013. The change in fair value on these instruments is recorded directly in cost of sales or selling, marketing and administrative expense, depending on the nature of the underlying exposure. At June 29, 2014, the net notional amount of foreign exchange contracts not designated as accounting hedges principally includes contracts used to cap the anticipated acquisition price of Shanghai Golden Monkey as denominated in U.S. dollars and contracts used to mitigate the foreign currency risk related to construction of the manufacturing facility in Johor, Malaysia.
	Interest Rate Risk
	In order to manage interest rate exposure, from time to time we enter into interest rate swap agreements, which are designated as cash flow hedges, with gains and losses deferred in other comprehensive income to be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the same period that the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The notional amount of interest rate derivative instruments outstanding was $250,000 at June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	Equity Price Risk
	We are exposed to market price changes in certain broad market indices related to our deferred compensation obligations to our employees. In the first quarter of 2014, we entered into equity swap contracts to hedge the portion of the exposure that is linked to market-level equity returns. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and are entered into for periods of 3 to 12 months. The change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded in selling, marketing and administrative expense, together with the change in the related liabilities. The notional amount of the contracts outstanding at June 29, 2014 was $24,902.
	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

	-1	The fair value of commodities futures and options contracts is based on quoted market prices and is, therefore, categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 29, 2014, prepaid expenses and other current assets reflects the net of assets of $49,295 and accrued liabilities of $40,283 associated with cash transfers receivable or payable on commodities futures contracts reflecting the change in quoted market prices on the last trading day for the period. The comparable amounts reflected on a net basis in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2013 were assets of $23,780 and accrued liabilities of $23,909. At December 31, 2013, the amount reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets related to the fair value of options contracts.

	-2	The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is the difference between the contract and current market foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the period. We estimate the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts on a quarterly basis by obtaining market quotes of spot and forward rates for contracts with similar terms, adjusted where necessary for maturity differences. These contracts are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

-3	The fair value of interest rate swap agreements represents the difference in the present value of cash flows calculated at the contracted interest rates and at current market interest rates at the end of the period. We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Such contracts are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

-4	The fair value of the cross-currency swap agreement is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and is estimated based on the difference between the contract and current market foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the period.

-5	The fair value of deferred compensation derivatives is based on quoted prices for market interest rates and a broad market equity index and is, therefore, categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximated fair value as of June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
The carrying value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $1,795,832 as of June 29, 2014, compared with a fair value of $1,979,386. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for similar debt issues and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

(a)	Gains recognized in income for non-designated foreign currency forward exchange contracts and deferred compensation derivatives were recognized in selling, marketing and administrative expenses.

(b)	Gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts and for foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as hedges of purchases of inventory or other productive assets. Other gains and losses for foreign currency forward exchange contracts were included in selling, marketing and administrative expenses. For the three months ended June 29, 2014, this included $3,801 relating to unrealized gains on foreign currency forward exchange contracts that were reclassified from accumulated OCI to selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting because it was determined to be probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur within the time period as originally designated or the subsequent two months thereafter. Losses reclassified from accumulated OCI into income for interest rate swap agreements were included in interest expense.

(c)	The gains representing hedge ineffectiveness were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts.

The effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was as follows:

(a)	Gains recognized in income for non-designated hedges were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts. Gains (losses) on non-designated foreign currency forward exchange contracts and deferred compensation derivatives were recognized in selling, marketing and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 29, 2014, losses from non-designated foreign currency forward exchange contracts relate primarily to contracts used to cap the anticipated acquisition price of Shanghai Golden Monkey as denominated in U.S. dollars.

(b)	Gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts and for foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as hedges of purchases of inventory or other productive assets. Other gains and losses for foreign currency forward exchange contracts were included in selling, marketing and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 29, 2014, this included $3,801 relating to unrealized gains on foreign currency forward exchange contracts that were reclassified from accumulated OCI to selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting because it was determined to be probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur within the time period originally designated or the subsequent two months thereafter. Losses reclassified from accumulated OCI into income for interest rate swap agreements were included in interest expense.

(c)	Gains (losses) representing hedge ineffectiveness were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts and in interest expense for interest rate swap agreements.
The amount of net gains on cash flow hedging derivatives, including interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, and commodities futures and options contracts, expected to be reclassified into income in the next twelve months was approximately $34,162 after tax as of June 29, 2014.

	We value the majority of our inventories under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method and the remaining inventories at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Inventories were as follows:


		June 29,			December 31,
		2014			2013
	Raw materials	$	251,382		$	226,978

	Goods in process	112,451			79,861

	Adjustment to LIFO	(164,466		)	(165,266		)
	Total inventories	$	855,182		$	659,541

	The increase in raw materials inventory as of June 29, 2014 was primarily due to the timing of deliveries to meet manufacturing requirements as well as the inclusion of the raw materials inventory of LSFC, which was not included as of December 31, 2013. The increase in goods in process inventories as of June 29, 2014 was principally the result of higher levels of cocoa products needed to support manufacturing requirements as well as the goods in process inventory at LSFC. Finished goods inventories were higher as of June 29, 2014 primarily due to increases to support anticipated sales levels of seasonal and everyday items.

	As a source of short-term financing, we utilize cash on hand and commercial paper or bank loans with an original maturity of three months or less. We maintain a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in November 2018. The credit agreement contains certain financial and other covenants, customary representations, warranties and events of default. As of June 29, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants pertaining to the credit agreement, and we had no significant compensating balance agreements that legally restricted these funds. For more information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	In May 2012, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities. In April 2013, we repaid $250.0 million of 5.0% Notes due in 2013. In May 2013, we issued $250.0 million of 2.625% Notes due in 2023 under this Registration Statement.

	INCOME TAXES
	The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Our major taxing jurisdictions include the United States (federal and state), Canada and Mexico. U.S., Canadian and Mexican federal audit issues typically involve the timing of deductions and transfer pricing adjustments. During the first quarter of 2013, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced its audit of our U.S. income tax returns for 2009 through 2011. The audit was concluded in the second quarter of 2014. Tax examinations by various state taxing authorities could be conducted for years beginning in 2010.
	We are no longer subject to Canadian federal income tax examinations by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for years before 2007. The CRA commenced its audit of our Canadian income tax returns for 2010 through 2012 in the second quarter of 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the CRA concluded its audit for 2007 through 2009 and issued a letter to us indicating proposed adjustments primarily associated with business realignment charges and transfer pricing. As of June 29, 2014, we recorded accrued income taxes, interest and penalties of approximately $74.4 million related to the proposed adjustments. We provided notice to the U.S. Competent Authority and the CRA provided notice to the Canada Competent Authority of the likely need for their assistance to resolve the proposed adjustments. Accordingly, as of June 29, 2014, we recorded a non-current receivable of approximately $66.7 million associated with the anticipated resolution of the proposed adjustments by the Competent Authority of each country.
	We are no longer subject to Mexican federal income tax examinations by the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria (“SAT”) for years before 2009. We work with the IRS, the CRA, and the SAT to resolve proposed audit adjustments and to minimize the amount of adjustments. We do not anticipate that any potential tax adjustments will have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
	We reasonably expect reductions in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $63.3 million within the next 12 months because of the expiration of statutes of limitations and settlements of tax audits.

	In 2007, the Competition Bureau of Canada began an inquiry into alleged violations of the Canadian Competition Act in the sale and supply of chocolate products sold in Canada between 2002 and 2008 by members of the confectionery industry, including Hershey Canada, Inc. The U.S. Department of Justice also notified the Company in 2007 that it had opened an inquiry, but has not requested any information or documents.
	Subsequently, 13 civil lawsuits were filed in Canada and 91 civil lawsuits were filed in the United States against
	the Company. The lawsuits were instituted on behalf of direct purchasers of our products as well as indirect purchasers that purchase our products for use or for resale. Several other chocolate and confectionery companies were named as defendants in these lawsuits as they also were the subject of investigations and/or inquiries by the government entities referenced above. The cases sought recovery for losses suffered as a result of alleged conspiracies in restraint of trade in connection with the pricing practices of the defendants.
	The Canadian civil cases were settled in 2012. Hershey Canada, Inc. reached a settlement agreement with the Competition Bureau of Canada through their Leniency Program with regard to an inquiry into alleged violations of the Canadian Competition Act in the sale and supply of chocolate products sold in Canada by members of the confectionery industry. On June 21, 2013, Hershey Canada, Inc. pleaded guilty to one count of price fixing related to communications with competitors in Canada in 2007 and paid a fine of approximately $4.0 million. Hershey Canada, Inc. had promptly reported the conduct to the Competition Bureau, cooperated fully with its investigation and did not implement the planned price increase that was the subject of the 2007 communications.
	With regard to the U.S. lawsuits, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation assigned the cases to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (the “District Court”). Plaintiffs sought actual and treble damages against the Company and other defendants based on an alleged overcharge for certain, or in some cases all, chocolate products sold in the U.S. between December 2002 and December 2007, and certain plaintiff groups alleged damages that extended beyond the alleged conspiracy period. The lawsuits had been proceeding on different scheduling tracks for different groups of plaintiffs.
	On February 26, 2014, the District Court granted summary judgment to the Company in the cases brought by the direct purchaser plaintiffs that had not sought class certification as well as those that had been certified as a class. The direct purchaser plaintiffs appealed the District Court's decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ("Third Circuit") in May 2014.
	The remaining plaintiff groups - the putative class plaintiffs that purchased product indirectly for resale, the putative class plaintiffs that purchased product indirectly for use, and direct purchaser Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. - dismissed their cases with prejudice, subject to reinstatement if the Third Circuit were to reverse the District Court’s summary judgment decision. The District Court entered judgment closing the case on April 17, 2014.
	Competition and antitrust law investigations can be lengthy and violations are subject to civil and/or criminal fines and other sanctions. Class action civil antitrust lawsuits are expensive to defend and could result in significant judgments, including in some cases, payment of treble damages and/or attorneys' fees to the successful plaintiff. Additionally, negative publicity involving these proceedings could affect our Company's brands and reputation, possibly resulting in decreased demand for our products. These possible consequences, in our opinion, are currently not expected to materially impact our financial position or liquidity, but could materially impact our results of operations and cash flows in the period in which any fines, settlements or judgments are accrued or paid, respectively.
	We have no other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our
	business.

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU No. 2013-11 provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU No. 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

	In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect adoption of ASU No. 2014-12 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	-1	The fair value of commodities futures and options contracts is based on quoted market prices and is, therefore, categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 29, 2014, prepaid expenses and other current assets reflects the net of assets of $49,295 and accrued liabilities of $40,283 associated with cash transfers receivable or payable on commodities futures contracts reflecting the change in quoted market prices on the last trading day for the period. The comparable amounts reflected on a net basis in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2013 were assets of $23,780 and accrued liabilities of $23,909. At December 31, 2013, the amount reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets related to the fair value of options contracts.

	-2	The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is the difference between the contract and current market foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the period. We estimate the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts on a quarterly basis by obtaining market quotes of spot and forward rates for contracts with similar terms, adjusted where necessary for maturity differences. These contracts are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

	-3	The fair value of interest rate swap agreements represents the difference in the present value of cash flows calculated at the contracted interest rates and at current market interest rates at the end of the period. We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Such contracts are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

	-4	The fair value of the cross-currency swap agreement is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and is estimated based on the difference between the contract and current market foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the period.

	-5	The fair value of deferred compensation derivatives is based on quoted prices for market interest rates and a broad market equity index and is, therefore, categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

	(a)	Gains recognized in income for non-designated hedges were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts. Gains (losses) on non-designated foreign currency forward exchange contracts and deferred compensation derivatives were recognized in selling, marketing and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 29, 2014, losses from non-designated foreign currency forward exchange contracts relate primarily to contracts used to cap the anticipated acquisition price of Shanghai Golden Monkey as denominated in U.S. dollars.

	(b)	Gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts and for foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as hedges of purchases of inventory or other productive assets. Other gains and losses for foreign currency forward exchange contracts were included in selling, marketing and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 29, 2014, this included $3,801 relating to unrealized gains on foreign currency forward exchange contracts that were reclassified from accumulated OCI to selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting because it was determined to be probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur within the time period originally designated or the subsequent two months thereafter. Losses reclassified from accumulated OCI into income for interest rate swap agreements were included in interest expense.

	(c)	Gains (losses) representing hedge ineffectiveness were included in cost of sales for commodities futures and options contracts and in interest expense for interest rate swap agreements.
	The effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was as follows:
