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 Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $5,731 , $7,238 , and $5,461 were expensed in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 , respectively. The expenses incurred during fiscal 2015 primarily relate to professional fees, severance charges and other transaction related costs associated with the three acquisitions completed in the current fiscal year. The expenses incurred during fiscal 2014 primarily relate to professional fees and stamp duty associated with the acquisition of Tilda and during fiscal 2013 primarily related to professional fees associated with the acquisition of the UK Ambient Grocery Brands and BluePrint (as discussed below). 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. HPPC held a 19% interest in Empire, 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 10). 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 Consolidated Statements of Income. On February 20, 2015, the Company acquired Belvedere International, Inc., (“Belvedere”) a leader in health and beauty care products including the Live Clean ® brand with approximately 200 baby, body and hair care products as well as several mass market brands sold primarily in Canada and manufactured in a company facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Consideration in the transaction consisted of cash totaling C$17,454 ( $13,988 at the transaction date exchange rate), which included debt that was repaid at closing, and was funded with existing cash balances. Additionally, contingent consideration of up to a maximum of C$4,000 is payable based on the achievement of specified operating results during the two consecutive one-year periods following the closing date. Belvedere is included in our Canada operating segment. Net sales and income before income taxes from continuing operations attributable to the Belvedere acquisition and included in our consolidated results were not material in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 . On March 4, 2015, the Company acquired the remaining 81% of Empire that it did not already own, at which point Empire became a wholly-owned subsidiary. Consideration in the transaction consisted of cash totaling $57,595 (net of cash acquired) which included debt that was repaid at closing. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The carrying amount of the pre-existing 19% investment in Empire as of March 4, 2015 was $6,864 . Due to the acquisition of the remaining 81% of Empire, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of its pre-existing investment to its fair value. This resulted in a gain of $2,922 recorded in “Interest and other expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Net sales and income before income taxes from continuing operations attributable to the Empire acquisition and included in our consolidated results were not material in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 . The following table summarizes the components of the preliminary purchase price allocations for the fiscal 2015 acquisitions: HPPC Belvedere Empire Total Carrying value of pre-existing interest, after fair value adjustments: $ 36,074 $ — $ 9,786 $ 45,860 Purchase Price: Cash paid 20,310 13,988 57,595 91,893 Equity issued 19,690 — — 19,690 Fair value of contingent consideration — 1,603 — 1,603 Total investment: $ 76,074 $ 15,591 $ 67,381 $ 159,046 Allocation: Current assets $ 52,055 $ 10,042 $ 19,628 $ 81,725 Property, plant and equipment 21,864 2,598 13,094 37,556 Other assets 7,288 — — 7,288 Identifiable intangible assets 20,700 5,698 33,890 60,288 Deferred taxes 1,388 (3,890 ) (14,443 ) (16,945 ) Assumed liabilities (41,705 ) (1,784 ) (15,632 ) (59,121 ) Goodwill 14,484 2,927 30,844 48,255 $ 76,074 $ 15,591 $ 67,381 $ 159,046 The purchase price allocations are 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 $14,621 with an estimated useful life of 10.8 years and trade names valued at $45,667 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 these acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of continuing operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , as if only the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2015 (HPPC, Belvedere and Empire) had been completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2014 . The information has been provided for illustrative purposes only, and does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the Company for the periods presented or that will be achieved by the combined company in the future. The pro forma information has been adjusted to give effect to items that are directly attributable to the transactions and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results, which include amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable intangible assets and the impact of reversing our previously recorded equity in HPPC’s net income as prior to the date of acquisition, HPPC was accounted for under the equity-method of accounting. Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2015 2014 Net sales from continuing operations $ 2,797,368 $ 2,558,173 Net income from continuing operations $ 171,130 $ 148,215 Net income per common share from continuing operations - diluted $ 1.65 $ 1.48 Fiscal 2014 On April 28, 2014, the Company acquired Charter Baking Company, Inc. and its subsidiary Rudi’s Organic Bakery, Inc.

Consideration in the transaction consisted of cash totaling $50,807 (which is net of cash acquired) and 267,488 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $11,168 . The cash consideration paid was funded with borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
