Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The amounts as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2014 are derived from the Company’s audited annual financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in management’s opinion, are necessary for a fair presentation for interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. Please refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the fiscal year then ended included in Hain’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for information not included in these condensed footnotes.
	On December 29, 2014, we effected a two-for-one stock split of our common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend to shareholders of record as of December 12, 2014. All share and earnings per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and the incremental par value of the newly issued shares was recorded with the offset to additional paid-in capital.
	All amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, footnotes and tables have been rounded to the nearest thousand, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated.
	Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU No. 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting and disclosing discontinued operations. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied prospectively. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2014-08 at the beginning of fiscal 2015. The adoption of the new guidance may impact the reporting and disclosure of any future disposals that are completed.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU No. 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.  ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application prohibited. ASU No. 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09.

	Note: The sum of our quarterly net income per share amounts may not equal the year-to-date amounts, as presented, due to rounding. Additionally, on December 29, 2014, we effected a two-for-one stock split of our common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend to shareholders of record as of December 12, 2014. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
	Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effects of stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted share units. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents such as stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. The Company used income from continuing operations as the control number in determining whether potential common shares were dilutive or anti-dilutive. The same number of potential common shares used in computing the diluted per share amount from continuing operations was also used in computing the diluted per share amounts from discontinued operations even if those amounts were anti-dilutive.
	Restricted stock awards totaling 108,250 were excluded from our diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 as such awards are contingently issuable based on market or performance conditions and such conditions had not been achieved during the respective periods. There were 274,680 such awards excluded from our diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.

Acquisitions and Disposals	6 Months Ended

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	ACQUISITIONS
	The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquisitions typically have been included in the consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price of each acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. Acquisitions may include contingent consideration, the fair value of which is estimated on the acquisition date as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using weighted probabilities of possible payments. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined primarily by using an income approach which was based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.
	The costs related to all acquisitions have been expensed as incurred and are included in “Acquisition related expenses, restructuring and integration charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $359 and $1,488 were expensed in the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and $523 and $1,248 were expensed in the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The expenses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2015 primarily relate to the acquisition of the remaining interest in HPPC. The expenses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2014 primarily relate to stamp duty and additional professional fees associated with the recent acquisitions.
	Fiscal 2015
	On July 17, 2014, the Company acquired the remaining 51.3% of HPPC, that it did not already own, at which point HPPC became a wholly-owned subsidiary. HPPC processes, markets and distributes antibiotic-free, organic and other poultry products. Included in the acquisition is HPPC’s 19% interest in EK Holdings, Inc. (“Empire Kosher”), which grows, processes and sells kosher poultry and other products. Consideration in the transaction consisted of cash totaling $20,310 and 462,856 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $19,690. The cash consideration paid was funded with existing cash balances. Additionally, HPPC’s existing bank borrowings were repaid on September 30, 2014 with proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement (see Note 9).
	The carrying amount of the pre-existing 48.7% investment in HPPC as of June 30, 2014 was $30,740. Due to the acquisition of the remaining 51.3% of HPPC, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of its pre-existing investment to its fair value. This resulted in a gain of $5,334 recorded in “Interest and other expenses, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The results of HPPC are reported as a separate segment (see Note 16).
	The following table summarizes the components of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the HPPC acquisition:
	Carrying value of pre-existing 48.7% interest, after fair value adjustment:	$	36,074
	Purchase price of remaining 51.3% interest:
	Cash paid	20,310
	Equity issued	19,690
	Total investment:	$	76,074
	Allocation:
	Current assets	$	55,261
	Property, plant and equipment	35,796
	Other assets, including investment in Empire Kosher	2,792
	Identifiable intangible assets	17,000
	Deferred taxes	(2,673		)
	Assumed liabilities	(41,435		)
	Goodwill	9,333
		$	76,074
	The purchase price allocation for HPPC is based upon preliminary valuations, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. Any change in the estimated fair value of the net assets, prior to the finalization of the more detailed analyses, but not to exceed one year from the dates of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocations.
	The preliminary fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships valued at $6,000 with an estimated useful life of 12 years and trade names valued at $11,000 with indefinite lives. The goodwill represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, including use of the Company’s existing infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired business’ products. The goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Consideration in these transactions consisted of cash totaling $126,340 (which is net of cash acquired and based on the exchange rates in effect at the respective transaction dates), 3,292,346 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $148,353 and deferred consideration (the “Vendor Loan Note”) for £20,000 ($32,958 at the transaction date exchange rate) issued by the Company which is payable within one year following completion of the acquisition, with a portion being payable in Company shares at the Company’s option. On January 13, 2015, the Company paid £10,000 ($15,114 at the transaction date exchange rate) and issued 266,984 shares of the Company’s common stock in full settlement of this obligation.

	(a) The total carrying value of goodwill for all periods in the table above is reflected net of $42,029 of accumulated impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2009 which relate to the Company’s United Kingdom and Europe operating segments.
	The Company performs its annual test for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. In addition, if and when events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units or indefinite lived intangible assets below their carrying value, an interim test is performed.
	Amounts assigned to indefinite-life intangible assets primarily represent the values of trademarks and tradenames. At December 31, 2014, included in trademarks and other intangible assets on the balance sheet are $196,366 of intangible assets deemed to have a finite life, which are primarily related to customer relationships, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 25 years.

	The Company has $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 10 year senior notes due May 2, 2016 issued in a private placement. The notes bear interest at 5.98%, payable semi-annually on November 2 and May 2. As of December 31, 2014, $150,000 of the senior notes was outstanding.
	On December 12, 2014, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which may be increased by an additional uncommitted $350 million, provided certain conditions are met. The Credit Agreement expires in December 2019. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used to provide working capital, finance capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions, refinance certain existing indebtedness and for other lawful corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2012. The Credit Agreement provides for multicurrency borrowings in Euros, Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars as well as other currencies which may be designated. In addition, certain wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries of the Company may be designated as co-borrowers. The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants usual and customary for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on the Company’s ability to engage in certain business activities, incur debt, have liens, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into affiliate transactions, consolidate, merge or acquire or dispose of assets, and make certain investments, acquisitions and loans. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants, such as maintaining a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined) of no less than 4.0 to 1.0 and a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined) of no more than 3.5 to 1.0. The consolidated leverage ratio is subject to a step-up to 4.0 to 1.0 for the four full fiscal quarters following an acquisition. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain existing and future domestic subsidiaries of the Company. As of December 31, 2014, there were $633,234 of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
	The Credit Agreement provides that loans will bear interest at rates based on (a) the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a rate ranging from 0.875% to 1.70% per annum; or (b) the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a rate ranging from 0.00% to 0.70% per annum, the relevant rate being the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate will be determined in accordance with a leverage-based pricing grid, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.  Swing line loans and Global Swing Line loans denominated in U.S. dollars will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and Global Swing Line loans denominated in foreign currencies shall bear interest based on the overnight Eurocurrency Rate for loans denominated in such currency plus the Applicable Rate. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2014 was 1.68%. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains a Commitment Fee, as defined in the Credit Agreement, on the amount unused under the Credit Agreement ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum. Such Commitment Fee is determined in accordance with a leverage-based pricing grid, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
	Tilda maintains short-term borrowing arrangements primarily used to fund the purchase of rice from India and other countries. The maximum borrowings permitted under all such arrangements are £52,000. Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by the current assets of Tilda, typically have six month terms and bear interest at variable rates typically based on LIBOR plus a margin (weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.8% at December 31, 2014.)

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES
	The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 32.1% and 33.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 30.0% and 30.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.
	The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was favorably impacted by the non-taxable gain recorded on the pre-existing ownership interest in HPPC of $5,334 (see Note 4). The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2013 was impacted by a reduction in the statutory tax rate in the United Kingdom enacted in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Such reduction resulted in a decrease of the carrying value of net deferred tax liabilities of $3,777 which favorably impacted the effective tax rate. This amount in the prior year period was partially offset by an increase in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits of $550 relating to an additional liability associated with an IRS audit that has since been completed.
	The effective income tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the items noted previously, as well as the effect of the mix of taxable income by jurisdiction and state and local income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements.

	On July 3, 2012, the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Irwin D. Simon, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Agreement provides for a grant of 800,000 shares of restricted stock (the “Shares”), the vesting of which is both market and time-based. The market condition is satisfied in increments of 200,000 Shares upon the Company’s common stock achieving four share price targets. On the last day of any forty-five (45) consecutive trading day period during which the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market equals or exceeds the following prices: $31.25, $36.25, $41.25 and $50.00, respectively, the market condition for each increment of 200,000 Shares will be satisfied. The market conditions must be satisfied prior to June 30, 2017. Once each market condition has been satisfied, a tranche of 200,000 Shares will vest in equal amounts annually over a five-year period. Except in the case of a change of control, termination without cause, death or disability (each as defined in Mr. Simon’s Employment Agreement), the unvested Shares are subject to forfeiture unless Mr. Simon remains employed through the applicable market and time vesting periods. The grant date fair value for each tranche was separately estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation that calculated the likelihood of goal attainment and the time frame most likely for goal attainment. The total grant date fair value of the Shares was estimated to be $16,151, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 4.0 years. On September 28, 2012, August 27, 2013, December 13, 2013, and October 22, 2014, the four respective market conditions were satisfied. As such, the four tranches of 200,000 Shares are expected to vest in equal amounts over the five-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the date the market condition for the respective tranche was satisfied.
	At December 31, 2014, $23,643 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock awards, inclusive of the Shares, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years.
	Long-Term Incentive Plan
	The Company maintains a long-term incentive program (the “LTI Plan”). The LTI Plan currently consists of two two-year performance-based long-term incentive plans (the “2014-2015 LTIP” and the “2015-2016 LTIP”) that provides for a combination of equity grants and performance awards that can be earned over each two year period. The 2015-2016 LTIP awards contain an additional year of time-based vesting. Participants in the LTI Plan include the Company’s executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, and certain other key executives.
	The Compensation Committee administers the LTI Plan and is responsible for, among other items, establishing the target values of awards to participants and selecting the specific performance factors for such awards. Following the end of each performance period, the Compensation Committee determines, at its sole discretion, the specific payout to each participant. Such awards may be paid in cash and/or unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, provided that any such stock-based awards shall be issued pursuant to and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated 2002 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time. Upon the adoption of the 2014-2015 LTIP and the 2015-2016 LTIP, the Compensation Committee granted an initial award to each participant in the form of equity-based instruments (restricted stock or restricted share units), for a portion of the individual target awards (the “Initial Equity Grants”). These Initial Equity Grants are subject to time vesting requirements and a portion are also subject to the achievement of minimum performance goals. The Initial Equity Grants are expensed over the respective vesting periods on a straight-line basis. The payment of the actual awards earned at the end of the applicable performance period, if any, will be reduced by the value of the Initial Equity Grants.
	The Compensation Committee determined that the target values previously set under the LTI Plan covering the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years (the “2013-2014 LTIP”) were achieved and approved the payment of awards to the participants. After deducting the value of the Initial Equity Grants, the awards related to the 2013-2014 LTIP totaled $7,439 (which were settled by the issuance of 148,168 unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2014).
	The Company has recorded expense (in addition to the stock based compensation expense associated with the Initial Equity Grants) of $1,916 and $3,262 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, related to LTI plans. There was $1,084 and $3,368 of expense recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively, related to these plans.

	Equity and cost method investments
	At December 31, 2014, the Company owned 50.0% of a joint venture, Hutchison Hain Organic Holdings Limited (“HHO”), with Chi-Med, a majority owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited. HHO markets and distributes certain of the Company’s brands in Hong Kong, China and other markets. Voting control of the joint venture is shared 50/50 between the Company and Chi-Med, although, in the event of a deadlock, Chi-Med has the ability to cast the deciding vote. The carrying value of the investment and advances to HHO of $842 are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in “Investments and joint ventures.” The investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
	At December 31, 2014, HPPC owned a 19% interest in Empire Kosher (see Note 4). The investment is being accounted for as a cost method investment and its carrying value of $2,734 is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in “Investments and joint ventures.”
	Available-For-Sale Securities
	The Company has a less than 1% equity ownership interest in Yeo Hiap Seng Limited (“YHS”), a Singapore based natural food and beverage company listed on the Singapore Exchange, which is accounted for as an available-for-sale security. The Company sold 782,000 of its YHS shares during the six months ended December 31, 2014 which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $311 on the sales. The remaining shares held at December 31, 2014 totaled 2,290,738. The fair value of these shares held was $2,996 (cost basis of $2,856) at December 31, 2014 and $5,314 (cost basis of $3,831) at June 30, 2014 and is included in “Investments and joint ventures,” with the related unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments Measured At Fair Value	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
	The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be grouped in one of three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
	•	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
	•	Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
	•	Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
	The following table presents by level within the fair value hierarchy assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014:
		Total			Quoted		Significant		Significant
					prices in		other		unobservable
					active		observable		inputs
					markets		inputs		(Level 3)
					(Level 1)		(Level 2)

	Total	$	9,448		$	—	$	1,168	$	8,280
	Available for sale securities consist of the Company’s investment in YHS (see Note 13). Fair value is measured using the market approach based on quoted prices. The Company utilizes the income approach to measure fair value for its foreign currency forward contracts. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates, and forward prices.
	In connection with the acquisitions of Cully & Sully in April 2012 and GG UniqueFiber AS in January 2011, payment of a portion of the respective purchase prices are contingent upon the achievement of certain operating results. The Company estimated the original fair value of the contingent consideration as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using the weighted probabilities of the possible payments. The Company is required to reassess the fair value of contingent payments on a periodic basis. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, additional expense of $280 was recorded related to the Cully & Sully acquisition, and in October 2014, $5,477 was paid to the sellers in settlement of this obligation. The significant inputs used in the estimate of the remaining obligation for GG UniqueFiber include numerous possible scenarios for the payments based on the contractual terms of the contingent consideration, for which probabilities are assigned to each scenario, which are then discounted based on an individual risk analysis of the liability (weighted average discount rate of 4.0% for the outstanding liability as of December 31, 2014). Although the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions, including those regarding the operating results of the respective businesses, or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.
	The following table summarizes the Level 3 activity:
		Six Months Ended December 31, 2014
	Balance as of June 30, 2014	$	8,280
	Contingent consideration adjustment	280
	Contingent consideration paid	(5,477		)
	Translation adjustment	(705		)
	Balance as of December 31, 2014	$	2,378
	There were no transfers of financial instruments between the three levels of fair value hierarchy during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company primarily has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relating to certain anticipated cash flows from its international operations. To reduce that risk, the Company may enter into certain derivative financial instruments, when available on a cost-effective basis, to manage such risk. Derivative financial instruments are not used for speculative purposes.
	The Company utilizes foreign currency contracts to hedge forecasted transactions, primarily intercompany transactions, on certain foreign currencies and designates these derivative instruments as foreign currency cash flow hedges when appropriate. The notional and fair value amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts at December 31, 2014 were $39,600 and $1,456 of net assets. There were $69,431 of notional amount and $777 of net liabilities of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding at June 30, 2014. The fair value of these derivatives is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For these derivatives, which qualify as hedges of probable forecasted cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value is temporarily reported in accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. These foreign exchange contracts have maturities over the next 12 months.
	The Company assesses effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. These assessments determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. Any ineffective portion of change in fair value is not deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and is included in current period results. For the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of hedge ineffectiveness on earnings was not significant. The Company will discontinue cash flow hedge accounting when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring on the originally forecasted date or when the hedge is no longer effective. There were no discontinued foreign exchange hedges for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Commitments And Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	On May 11, 2011, Rosminah Brown, on behalf of herself and all other similarly situated individuals, as well as a non-profit organization, filed a putative class action in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County against the Company. The complaint alleged that the labels of certain Avalon Organics® brand and JASON® brand personal care products used prior to the Company’s implementation of ANSI/NSF-305 certification in mid-2011 violated certain California statutes. Defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The action was consolidated with a subsequently-filed putative class action containing substantially identical allegations concerning only the JASON® brand personal care products. The consolidated actions seek an award for damages, injunctive relief, costs, expenses and attorney’s fees, and are currently at the discovery phase. The Company will continue to defend this action vigorously and continues to believe that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit.
	On August 19, 2014, the Company announced a voluntary recall on certain nut butters. In connection with the voluntary recall, the Company recorded pre-tax costs totaling $7,267 and $30,111 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and previously recorded charges of $6,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. For the six months ended December 31, 2014 the charges recorded primarily relate to returns of product from customers ($15,773) and inventory on-hand and other cost of goods sold charges ($9,429), and to a lesser extent consumer refunds and other administrative costs ($4,909). The Company is working with its insurance carrier to recover a portion of these costs and is also continuing to work with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to finalize the matter. Additionally, while the Company anticipates certain ongoing period costs, primarily transportation and storage costs, to be incurred during the remainder of fiscal 2015, such costs are not anticipated to be material.
	In addition to the contingencies described above, the Company may be a party to a number of legal actions, proceedings, audits, tax audits, claims and disputes, arising in the ordinary course of business, including those with current and former customers over amounts owed. While any action, proceeding, audit or claim contains an element of uncertainty and may materially affect the Company’s cash flows and results of operations in a particular quarter or year, based on current facts and circumstances, the Company’s management believes that the outcome of such actions, proceedings, audits, claims and disputes will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or liquidity.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Company’s operations are managed in five operating segments: United States, United Kingdom, HPPC (which was acquired on July 17, 2014), Canada and Europe. The United States, the United Kingdom and HPPC are currently reportable segments, while Canada and Europe do not currently meet the quantitative thresholds for reporting and are therefore combined and reported as “Rest of World.”
	Net sales and operating profit are the primary measures used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Expenses related to certain centralized administration functions that are not specifically related to an operating segment are included in “Corporate and other.” Corporate and other expenses are comprised mainly of the compensation and related expenses of certain of the Company’s senior executive officers and other selected employees who perform duties related to the entire enterprise, as well as expenses for certain professional fees, facilities, and other items which benefit the Company as a whole. Additionally, acquisition related expenses and restructuring charges are included in “Corporate and other.” Expenses that are managed centrally but can be attributed to a segment, such as employee benefits and certain facility costs, are allocated based on reasonable allocation methods. Certain factory start-up costs incurred in Europe that were included in “Corporate and other” in the prior year have been reclassified to the Rest of World segment to conform to the current year presentation. Assets are reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis and are not reported by operating segment.
	The following tables set forth financial information about each of the Company’s reportable segments. Transactions between reportable segments were insignificant for all periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU No. 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting and disclosing discontinued operations. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied prospectively. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2014-08 at the beginning of fiscal 2015. The adoption of the new guidance may impact the reporting and disclosure of any future disposals that are completed.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU No. 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.  ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application prohibited. ASU No. 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09.
