Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. (the “ Company, ” "we," "us," or "our" ) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2015 , filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2015 (the "2014 Form 10-K"). The year-end condensed consolidated financial statement data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In our opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented herein. The consolidated results of operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, management’s determination of estimates and judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities requires the exercise of judgment in the selection and application of assumptions based on various factors, including historical experience, current and expected economic conditions and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We routinely evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales and promotional allowances, customer returns, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuations, useful lives of fixed assets and related impairment, long-term investments, hedge transactions, goodwill and intangible asset valuations and impairments, incentive compensation, income taxes, self-insurance, contingencies and litigation. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. Discontinued Operations Presentation As discussed in Note 3, amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for prior periods have been reclassified to separate amounts related to discontinued operations from continuing operations. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, amounts disclosed within the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts related to discontinued operations. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not adjusted for presentation of discontinued operations in prior periods as no adjustment was required by the applicable accounting standards.

New Accounting Standards

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this accounting standard raise the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and require new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This accounting standard update became effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and related interim periods. We plan to apply this standard as necessary in our consolidated financial statements. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This accounting standard creates common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The guidance also requires improved disclosures to help users of the financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. This accounting standard update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and related interim periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard. On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which revises the consolidation model used for evaluating whether reporting entities should consolidate certain legal entities. This accounting standard update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and related interim periods with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard. On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This accounting standard update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This revised guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and related interim periods with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard. On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This accounting standard update requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The amendments in this update do not apply to inventory measured using the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method. This revised guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and related interim periods with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	NOTE 3 . DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On May 6, 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell two of our United States subsidiaries as well as certain assets of our Canadian subsidiary which included the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell the majority of our private brand products and certain contract manufactured products (collectively, “Private Brands”) to Shearer’s Foods, LLC (“Shearer’s”). The manufacturing facilities associated with the sale were located in Burlington, Iowa and Guelph, Ontario. On June 30, 2014 , we completed the sale of Private Brands for $430 million in cash with proceeds after taxes of approximately $303 million . As a result of the sale of Private Brands, revenues and expenses that no longer continued after the sale of Private Brands, and for which we had no substantial continuing involvement, were reclassified to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. All prior period results, including results for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 , were retrospectively adjusted to ensure comparability and consistent presentation of continuing and discontinued operations. There were no discontinued operations included in the results for the second quarter or first six months of 2015 . For the second quarter and first six months of 2014 , income statement amounts associated with discontinued operations were as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands) June 28, 2014 June 28, 2014 Net revenue $ 60,444 $ 124,256 Cost of sales 46,199 94,396 Gross margin 14,245 29,860 Selling, general and administrative 5,844 11,886 Other expense, net 539 205 Discontinued operations before income taxes 7,862 17,769 Income tax expense 4,339 7,924 Discontinued operations, net of income tax $ 3,523 $ 9,845 As the sale of Private Brands was completed during the third quarter of 2014, there were no remaining assets or liabilities associated with discontinued operations as of July 4, 2015 or January 3, 2015. In connection with the sale of Private Brands, we entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with Shearer's (the "Supply Agreement") to contract manufacture certain products as requested by Shearer's for an initial term of two years subsequent to the sale transaction for which we have realized revenue and incurred expenses from the products sold to Shearer's. Under the Supply Agreement, certain manufacturing facilities that were not included in the disposal group continued to produce products for Shearer’s. Accordingly, previous revenues earned for the production and sale of these products were not included in discontinued operations given the continued involvement and length of the Supply Agreement.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions	NOTE 4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS On October, 30, 2014, we made an additional investment in Late July Snacks LLC ("Late July") of approximately $59.5 million which increased our total ownership interest from approximately 18.7% to 80.0% . Late July is the industry leader for organic and non-GMO tortilla chips and sells a variety of other baked and salty snacks with particular focus on organic and non-GMO snacks. The investment supports our goal of having a stronger presence in healthier snacks. Concurrently with the transaction, we also established a $6.0 million line of credit with Late July, of which $3.9 million was drawn by Late July in order to repay certain obligations. There have been no changes to the purchase price allocation for Late July presented in our 2014 Form 10-K and the purchase price allocation is now considered final. On June 13, 2014 , we completed the acquisition of Baptista's Bakery, Inc. ("Baptista's") and related assets for approximately $ 204 million . The purchase price included the effective settlement of $2.6 million in accounts payable owed by us to Baptista's at the time of the acquisition. Baptista’s is an industry leader in snack food development and innovation, the manufacturer of our fast growing Snack Factory ® Pretzel Crisps ® brand and has unique capabilities consistent with our innovation plans. There have been no changes to the purchase price allocation for Baptista's presented in our 2014 Form 10-K and the purchase price allocation is now considered final. During the second quarter and first six months of 2014 , prior to obtaining an additional ownership interest, we recognized $ 3.7 million and $ 6.8 million in net revenue from Late July ® contract manufacturing and Partner brand sales of Late July ® products, respectively. The prior year revenue from Late July ® products was reclassified to Branded revenue as reflected in Note 17 in order to be consistent with current year presentation. The majority of Baptista's net revenue is intercompany and, therefore, eliminated in consolidation.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share	6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share from continuing and discontinued operations is computed by dividing income from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to us, respectively, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all securities representing potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if our outstanding dilutive stock options had been exercised, as determined pursuant to the treasury stock method. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and are treated as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. We have granted and expect to continue to grant restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable rights to dividends. As such, these awards have been included in our calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method, as computed in the table below for income from continuing operations: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands, except per share data) July 4, June 28, July 4, June 28, Basic EPS: Income from continuing operations $ 17,329 $ 8,154 $ 27,965 $ 18,648 Less: Income from continuing operations allocated to participating securities 49 25 68 57 Income from continuing operations allocated to common shares $ 17,280 $ 8,129 $ 27,897 $ 18,591 Weighted average shares outstanding – Basic 70,426 69,925 70,342 69,831 Earnings per share – Basic $ 0.25 $ 0.12 $ 0.40 $ 0.27 Diluted EPS: Weighted average shares outstanding – Basic 70,426 69,925 70,342 69,831 Effect of dilutive non-qualified stock options on shares outstanding 745 743 732 740 Weighted average shares outstanding – Diluted 71,171 70,668 71,074 70,571 Earnings per share – Diluted $ 0.24 $ 0.11 $ 0.39 $ 0.26 There were no discontinued operations for the second quarter or first six months of 2015 . Basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2014 were $0.05 . Basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2014 were $0.14 . For both the second quarter and first six months of 2015 , approximately 379,000 shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were antidilutive. For the second quarter and first six months of 2014 , no shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Stock-Based Compensation	NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation expense recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was $1.4 million and $1.6 million for the second quarter s of 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $2.8 million and $3.0 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 , respectively. During the first six months of 2015 , we issued 384,453 non-qualified stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $31.02 per share and 119,003 restricted shares to employees and directors. During the first six months of 2014 , we issued 418,272 non-qualified stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $26.66 per share and 134,490 restricted shares to employees and directors. For the second quarter s of 2015 and 2014 , we repurchased zero shares and 273 shares, respectively, of common stock from employees to cover withholding taxes payable by employees upon the vesting of restricted stock. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014 , we repurchased 26,175 shares and 43,387 shares, respectively, to cover withholding taxes. In addition, we recorded $0.1 million and $1.0 million in incentive compensation for performance-based cash incentives for the second quarter s of 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $0.7 million and $2.1 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

In order to conform with the current presentation, we revised our prior period presentation and reclassified $6.8 million of furniture and fixtures to machinery, equipment and computer systems as of January 3, 2015. The revision had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and was not material to prior periods. Depreciation expense related to fixed assets was $15.0 million and $11.2 million during the second quarter s of 2015 and 2014 , respectively. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014 , depreciation expense was $29.7 million and $22.1 million , respectively. There were no fixed asset impairment charges recorded during the second quarter or first six months of 2015 . There were $3.9 million in fixed asset impairment charges recorded during the first six months of 2014 . An impairment of $2.9 million was recorded during the second quarter of 2014 to write off certain machinery and equipment where future cash flows were not expected to support the carrying value due to the sale of Private Brands. These assets were not part of the sale transaction, so the impairment was included in continuing operations. The remaining $1.0 million impairment charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2014 and was related to our Corsicana, Texas facility which was subsequently sold in the third quarter of 2014.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the first six months of 2015 were as follows: (in thousands) Carrying Amount Balance as of January 3, 2015 $ 541,539 Goodwill reclassified to assets held for sale (1,129 ) Balance as of July 4, 2015 $ 540,410 As of July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015 , other intangible assets consisted of the following: (in thousands) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount As of July 4, 2015: Customer and contractual relationships – amortized $ 166,756 $ (30,808 ) $ 135,948 Non-compete agreement – amortized 710 (237 ) 473 Developed technology – amortized 2,700 (190 ) 2,510 Reacquired rights – amortized 3,100 (1,520 ) 1,580 Patents – amortized 8,600 (2,135 ) 6,465 Routes – unamortized 14,287 — 14,287 Trademarks – unamortized 375,961 — 375,961 Balance as of July 4, 2015 $ 572,114 $ (34,890 ) $ 537,224 As of January 3, 2015: Customer and contractual relationships – amortized $ 166,756 $ (26,151 ) $ 140,605 Non-compete agreement – amortized 710 (173 ) 537 Developed technology – amortized 2,700 (100 ) 2,600 Reacquired rights – amortized 3,100 (1,327 ) 1,773 Patents – amortized 8,600 (1,744 ) 6,856 Routes – unamortized 16,880 — 16,880 Trademarks – unamortized 375,961 — 375,961 Balance as of January 3, 2015 $ 574,707 $ (29,495 ) $ 545,212 Amortization expense related to intangibles was $2.7 million and $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 , respectively. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014 , amortization expense related to intangibles was $5.4 million and $4.7 million , respectively. The increase in amortization expense in 2015 was due to additional intangible assets obtained through the acquisition of Baptista's and additional investment in Late July during 2014. Routes and trademarks are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. Although not amortized, they are reviewed for impairment as conditions change or at least on an annual basis. There were no impairments during the second quarter or first six months of 2015 . During the second quarter of 2014 , we recorded a $ 3.6 million impairment to write down one of our trademarks to its fair value of $2.5 million . The write down was necessary due to a reduction in projected future cash flows for this trademark, which was determined using a level 3 fair value measurement. This fair value determination was made using the relief from royalty method under the income approach, which required us to estimate unobservable factors such as a royalty rate and discount rate and identify relevant projected revenue. One of our trademarks, with a book value of $9.8 million as of July 4, 2015 , currently has a fair value which approximates book value. Any adverse changes in the use of this trademark or the sales volumes of the associated products could result in an impairment charge. The changes in the carrying amount of route intangibles for the first six months of 2015 were as follows: (in thousands) Carrying Amount Balance as of January 3, 2015 $ 16,880 Routes reclassified to assets held for sale (2,593 ) Balance as of July 4, 2015 $ 14,287 Route businesses, including route intangibles and associated goodwill, allocated to assets held for sale represent assets available for sale in their present condition and for which actions to complete a sale have been initiated. The changes in the carrying amount of route businesses held for sale for the first six months of 2015 were as follows: (in thousands) Carrying Amount Balance as of January 3, 2015 $ 10,816 Purchases of route businesses held for sale 10,094 Sales of route businesses held for sale (12,029 ) Reclassifications from route intangibles and goodwill 3,722 Balance as of July 4, 2015 $ 12,603 Net gains on the sale of route businesses for the second quarter of 2015 consisted of $0.4 million in gains and $0.3 million in losses. Net gains on the sale of route businesses for the first six months of 2015 consisted of $1.5 million in gains and $0.6 million in losses. The majority of the route business sales were due to the reengineering of route businesses to accommodate new customers and additional Partner brand business obtained in the impacted markets as well as the decision to sell certain route businesses that were previously Company-owned. For the second quarter of 2014 , net gains on the sale of route businesses consisted of $1.2 million in gains and $0.9 million in losses. For the first six months of 2014 , net gains on sale of route businesses consisted of $2.8 million in gains and $1.3 million in losses. The majority of the route business sales in the first six months of 2014 were due to the resale of routes purchased because of independent business owner ("IBO") defaults or route reengineering projects that were initiated in order to maximize the efficiency of route territories for the IBOs. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further information related to IBOs.

As of July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015 , we had available borrowings on this facility of $325 million . During the first six months of 2015 , there were no repayments or proceeds from our revolving credit facility. During the first six months of 2014 , we repaid $71.0 million and received proceeds of $286.0 million from our revolving credit facility. The net proceeds received were primarily used to acquire Baptista's. We are currently in compliance with all defined covenants contained in our debt agreements.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES As of July 4, 2015 , we recorded gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions totaling $3.8 million and related interest and penalties of $1.5 million in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of this total amount, $3.9 million , which includes interest and penalties, would affect the effective tax rate if subsequently recognized. As of January 3, 2015 , we recorded gross unrecognized tax benefits totaling $3.7 million and related interest and penalties of $1.4 million in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect certain income tax audits will be settled, positions will be resolved through administrative procedures or statutes of limitations will expire for various tax authorities during the next twelve months, resulting in a potential $1.6 million reduction of the unrecognized tax benefit amount. We classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions within income tax expense. The effective tax rate was 35.9% for the second quarter s of both 2015 and 2014 . The effective tax rate increased from 29.8% for the first six months of 2014 to a more normalized rate of 35.9% for the first six months of 2015 . The significantly lower effective tax rate for the first six months of 2014 was primarily due to the release of previously established unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the completion of an audit and the related expiration of certain statutes of limitation.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We have classified assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value into the fair value hierarchy as set forth below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities. Level 3 – unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, which required us to develop our own assumptions. The following table summarizes information regarding financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value as of July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015 . (in thousands) Book Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Balance as of July 4, 2015: Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 42,619 $ 42,619 $ — $ — Restricted cash 966 966 — — Total assets $ 43,585 $ 43,585 $ — $ — Liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ 433 $ — $ 433 $ — Total liabilities $ 433 $ — $ 433 $ — Balance as of January 3, 2015: Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 35,373 $ 35,373 $ — $ — Restricted cash 966 966 — — Total assets $ 36,339 $ 36,339 $ — $ — Liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ 438 $ — $ 438 $ — Total liabilities $ 438 $ — $ 438 $ — There were no changes among the levels during the first six months of 2015 . The fair value of outstanding debt, including current maturities, was approximately $447 million and $453 million as of July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015 , respectively. The Level 2 fair value estimates were based on similar debt with the same maturities, company credit rating and interest rates.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instrument Detail [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	NOTE 13 . DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS We are exposed to certain risks relating to our business operations. We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risks. The fair value of the derivative instrument liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets using Level 2 inputs was as follows: (in thousands) Balance Sheet Location July 4, January 3, Interest rate swaps Other current liabilities $ (223 ) $ (438 ) Interest rate swaps Other noncurrent liabilities (210 ) — Total fair value of derivative instruments $ (433 ) $ (438 ) Interest Rate Swaps Our variable-rate debt obligations incur interest at floating rates based on changes in the Eurodollar rate and U.S. base rate interest. To manage exposure to changing interest rates, we selectively enter into interest rate swap agreements to maintain a desired proportion of fixed to variable-rate debt. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined utilizing a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swaps and the observable inputs of time to maturity and interest rates. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments as of July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015 was $125.0 million and $50.0 million , respectively. In February 2015, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to manage the exposure to changing interest rates on long-term debt. We entered into an agreement with a notional amount of $25.0 million to fix a portion of our term loan due in May 2019 at an interest rate of 1.58% , plus applicable margins, effective for the interest periods from May 2015 through May 2019. A second agreement with a notional amount of $50.0 million was entered to fix a portion of our term loan due in May 2024 at an interest rate of 1.98% , plus applicable margins, effective for the interest periods from May 2015 through May 2022. Our remaining interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million is used to fix the interest rate for a portion of our revolving credit facility and expires in November 2015. The changes in unrealized losses, net of income tax, included in other comprehensive income due to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates were as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands) July 4, June 28, July 4, June 28, Gains on interest rate swaps, net of income tax expense of $527, $30, $2 and $66, respectively $ 845 $ 48 $ 4 $ 106 Gains on foreign currency forwards, net of income tax expense of $0, $14, $0, and $10, respectively — 43 — 21 Total change in unrealized losses from derivative instruments, net of income tax (effective portion) $ 845 $ 91 $ 4 $ 127

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	NOTE 14 . COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contractual Obligations In order to mitigate the risks of volatility in commodity markets to which we are exposed, we entered into forward purchase agreements with certain suppliers based on market prices, forward price projections and expected usage levels. Purchase commitments for certain ingredients, packaging materials and energy totaled $114.0 million as of July 4, 2015 , as compared to $105.2 million as of January 3, 2015 . In addition to these commitments, we have contracts for certain ingredients and packaging materials where we have secured a fixed price but do not have a minimum purchase quantity. We currently contract from approximately three to twelve months in advance for certain major ingredients and packaging. We also maintain standby letters of credit in connection with our self-insurance reserves for casualty claims. The total amount of these letters of credit was $11.6 million as of July 4, 2015 and $11.4 million as of January 3, 2015 . Guarantees We currently provide a partial guarantee for loans made to IBOs by third-party financial institutions for the purchase of route businesses. The outstanding aggregate balance on these loans was approximately $134.4 million as of July 4, 2015 compared to approximately $130.3 million as of January 3, 2015 . The annual maximum amount of future payments we could be required to make under the guarantee equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance on the first day of each calendar year plus 25% of the amount of any new loans issued during such calendar year. These loans are collateralized by the route businesses for which the loans are made. Accordingly, we have the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default, and our liability associated with this guarantee is not material. Legal Matters We have certain class action legal proceedings filed against us which allege that certain ingredients in some of our products that are labeled as “natural” and “all natural” are not natural. Although we believe that we have strong defenses against these claims, subsequent to end of the second quarter , we reached a tentative settlement agreement in order to avoid the costs and uncertainty of litigation. The tentative settlement amount is $2.8 million and the tentative settlement is subject to the preparation, negotiation and execution of definitive settlement agreements. Accordingly, we have recorded an accrual of $2.8 million as of July 4, 2015 , which represents our best estimate of the loss we now believe is probable. In addition, we currently have class action legal proceedings related to our IBO network. We cannot currently estimate our potential liability, damages or range of potential loss in connection with these outstanding legal proceedings, but the impact could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We are currently subject to various other legal proceedings and environmental matters arising in the normal course of business which are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is possible and a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we will disclose the range of the possible loss. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being, and the estimated amount of, a loss related to such matters. We cannot currently estimate our potential liability, damages or range of potential loss in connection with our other outstanding legal proceedings.
