Basis of Presentation	'
	1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the company, without audit, with the exception of the June 29, 2013 consolidated balance sheet which was taken from the audited financial statements included in the company's Fiscal 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The financial statements include consolidated balance sheets, consolidated results of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.
	Prior year amounts within the consolidated balance sheets have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as it relates to the presentation of certain accounts payable, accrued expenses and tax-related balances.  Prior year amounts within the consolidated results of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as it relates to the classification of certain amounts within cost of sales and operating expenses.  The impact of these reclassifications was immaterial to the prior year period.
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's fiscal 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.   Certain footnote disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations for interim financial statements.
	A review of the financial information herein has been made by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with established professional standards and procedures for such a review.  A Review Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has been issued by Ernst & Young LLP and is included as Exhibit 15.1 to this Form 10-Q.

	2.  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING
	Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.”  This update amends ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” to allow entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  Under that option, an entity no longer would be required to calculate the fair value of the intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  The amendments in this update were effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption was permitted.  The adoption of this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 did not result in a material change to the company’s interim consideration of impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets.  Sysco does not believe this update will have an impact on its annual testing for impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
	Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  This update amends ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” to require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net earnings if the amount is being reclassified in its entirety to net earnings.  For other amounts that are not being reclassified in their entirety to net earnings, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts.  The amendments in this update were effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012.   The additional disclosures required by this update are included in Note 9, “Comprehensive Income.”

Fair Value Measurements	'
	3.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price).  The accounting guidance includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
	·	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
	·	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
	·	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which include management’s own assumption about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
	Sysco’s policy is to invest in only high-quality investments.  Cash equivalents primarily include time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high-quality money market funds and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.   Restricted cash consists of investments in high-quality money market funds.
	The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
	·	Time deposits and commercial paper included in cash equivalents are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.  These are included within cash equivalents as a Level 2 measurement in the tables below.
	·	Money market funds are valued at the closing price reported by the fund sponsor from an actively traded exchange.  These are included within cash equivalents and restricted cash as Level 1 measurements in the tables below.
	·	The interest rate swap agreements, discussed further in Note 4,  “Derivative Financial Instruments,” are valued using a swap valuation model that utilizes an income approach using observable market inputs including interest rates, LIBOR swap rates and credit default swap rates.  These are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets as Level 2 measurements in the tables below.
	The following tables present the company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 28, 2013,  June 29, 2013 and September 29, 2012:

	The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their respective fair values due to the short‑term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of Sysco’s total debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issue or on the current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities and is considered a Level 2 measurement.  The fair value of total debt approximated $3,327.5 million, $3,207.6 million and $3,551.3 million as of September 28, 2013,  June 29, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively. The carrying value of total debt was $3,130.1 million, $2,888.9 million and $3,019.1 million as of September 28, 2013,  June 29, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively.

	4.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	Sysco manages its debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and may employ interest rate swaps from time to time to achieve this position. The company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	In August 2013, the company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $500.0 million of fixed rate debt maturing in fiscal 2018 to floating rate debt.  In addition, in fiscal 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $200.0 million of fixed rate debt maturing in fiscal 2014 to floating rate debt.  These transactions were entered into with the goal of reducing overall borrowing cost and increasing floating interest rate exposure.  These transactions were designated as fair value hedges against the changes in fair value of fixed rate debt resulting from changes in interest rates.
	The location and the fair value of derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2013,  June 29, 2013 and September 29, 2012 are as follows:
		Asset Derivatives					Liability Derivatives
		Balance Sheet Location		Fair Value			Balance Sheet Location		Fair Value

	Sep. 29, 2012	Other assets			5,961		N/A		N/A
	The location and effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on the consolidated results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 presented on a pre-tax basis are as follows:
			Location of (Gain) or Loss		Amount of (Gain) or Loss
			Recognized in Income		Recognized in Income

	Interest rate swap agreements		Interest expense		$	-3,175		$	-2,050
	Cash Flow  Hedge Relationships:
	Interest rate contracts		Interest expense			156			157
	Hedge ineffectiveness represents the difference between the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments and the changes in fair value of the fixed rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.  Hedge ineffectiveness is recorded directly in earnings within interest expense and was immaterial for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013.  The interest rate swaps do not contain credit-risk-related contingent features.

	5.  DEBT
	As of September 28, 2013, Sysco had uncommitted bank lines of credit which provides for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up to $95.0 million, of which $2.3 million was outstanding, located within Notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet.
	Sysco and one of its subsidiaries, Sysco International, ULC, have a revolving credit facility supporting the company’s United States (U.S.) and Canadian commercial paper programs.  The facility provides for borrowings in both U.S. and Canadian dollars.  Borrowings by Sysco International, ULC under the agreement are guaranteed by Sysco, and borrowings by Sysco and Sysco International, ULC under the credit agreement are guaranteed by the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sysco that are guarantors of the company’s senior notes and debentures.   The original facility in the amount of $1,000.0 million expires on December 29, 2016, and the extended facility in the amount of $925.0 million expires on December 29, 2017, but is subject to further extension.   As of September 28, 2013, commercial paper issuances outstanding were $329.0 million and were classified as long-term debt, as the company’s commercial paper programs are supported by the long-term revolving credit facility described above.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, aggregate commercial paper issuances and short-term bank borrowings ranged from zero to approximately $585.8  million.
	The company’s Irish subsidiary, Pallas Foods, has a multicurrency revolving credit facility, which provides for capital needs for the company’s European subsidiaries.  In September 2013, the facility was extended and increased to €100.0  million (Euro).  This facility provides for unsecured borrowings and expires September 24, 2014, but is subject to extension.  Outstanding borrowings under this facility were €32.0 million (Euro) as of September 28, 2013, located within Notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet.

	7.  MULTIEMPLOYER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
	Sysco contributes to several multiemployer defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and Canada based on obligations arising under collective bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees. Sysco does not directly manage these multiemployer plans, which are generally managed by boards of trustees, half of whom are appointed by the unions and the other half by Sysco and the other employers contributing to the plan.
	Based upon the information available from plan administrators, management believes that several of these multiemployer plans are underfunded.  In addition, pension-related legislation in the U.S. requires underfunded pension plans to improve their funding ratios within prescribed intervals based on the level of their underfunding.  As a result, Sysco expects its contributions to these plans to increase in the future.  In addition, if a U.S. multiemployer defined benefit plan fails to satisfy certain minimum funding requirements, the Internal Revenue Service may impose a nondeductible excise tax of 5% on the amount of the accumulated funding deficiency for those employers contributing to the fund.

	Sysco has voluntarily withdrawn from various multiemployer pension plans.  There were no withdrawal liability provisions recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 or the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  As of September 28, 2013,  June 29, 2013, and September 29, 2012, Sysco had approximately $40.3 million, $40.7 million and $30.7 million, respectively, in liabilities recorded related to certain multiemployer defined benefit plans for which Sysco’s voluntary withdrawal had already occurred.   Recorded withdrawal liabilities are estimated at the time of withdrawal based on the most recently available valuation and participant data for the respective plans; amounts are subsequently adjusted to the period of payment to reflect any changes to these estimates.  If any of these plans were to undergo a mass withdrawal, as defined by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, within the two plan years following the plan year in which we completely withdraw from that plan, Sysco could have additional liability.  The company does not currently believe any mass withdrawals are probable to occur in the applicable two-plan year time frame relating to the plans from which Sysco has voluntarily withdrawn.
	Potential Withdrawal Liability
	Under current law regarding multiemployer defined benefit plans, a plan’s termination, Sysco’s voluntary withdrawal, or the mass withdrawal of all contributing employers from any underfunded multiemployer defined benefit plan would require Sysco to make payments to the plan for Sysco’s proportionate share of the multiemployer plan’s unfunded vested liabilities.  Generally, Sysco does not have the greatest share of liability among the participants in any of the plans in which it participates.  Sysco believes that one of the above-mentioned events is reasonably possible for certain plans in which it participates and estimates its share of withdrawal liability for these plans could have been as much as $90.0 million as of September 28, 2013.  This estimate excludes plans for which Sysco has recorded withdrawal liabilities or where the likelihood of the above-mentioned events is deemed remote.  This estimate is based on the information available from plan administrators, the majority of which had a valuation date of December 31, 2012. As the valuation date for most of these plans was December 31, 2012, the company’s estimate reflects the condition of the financial markets as of that date.  Due to the lack of current information, management believes Sysco’s current share of the withdrawal liability could materially differ from this estimate.

Share-Based Compensation [Abstract]	'
Share-Based Compensation	'
	10.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
	Sysco provides compensation benefits to employees and non-employee directors under several share-based payment arrangements including various employee stock incentive plans, the Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan, and various non‑employee director plans.
	Stock Incentive Plans
	In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, options to purchase  364,583 shares were granted to employees from the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $3.97.
	In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, 74,950 restricted stock units were granted to employees from the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. Some of these restricted stock units were granted with dividend equivalents. The fair value of each restricted stock unit award granted with a dividend equivalent is based on the company’s stock price as of the date of grant. For restricted stock unit awards granted without dividend equivalents, the fair value was reduced by the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of restricted stock units granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $33.29.
	Employees' Stock Purchase Plan
	Plan participants purchased 332,270 shares of Sysco common stock under the Sysco Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
	The weighted average fair value per share of employee stock purchase rights issued pursuant to the Employees' Stock Purchase Plan was $5.12 during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The fair value of the stock purchase rights is estimated as the difference between the stock price and the employee purchase price.
	All Share-Based Payment Arrangements
	The total share-based compensation cost that has been recognized in results of operations was $13.5 million and $10.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
	As of September 28, 2013, there was $56.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.34  years.

	11.  INCOME TAXES
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	As of September 28, 2013, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $108.2 million and the gross amount of liability for accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits was $37.9 million. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits with respect to certain of the company’s unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease in the next twelve months either because Sysco prevails on positions that were being challenged upon audit or because the company agrees to their disallowance.  Items that may cause changes to unrecognized tax benefits primarily include the consideration of various filing requirements in numerous states and the allocation of income and expense between tax jurisdictions.  At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change cannot be made.
	Effective Tax Rates
	The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was 36.84%.  Indefinitely reinvested earnings taxed at foreign statutory rates less than our domestic tax rate had the impact of reducing the effective tax rate.
	The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 of 36.37% was favorably impacted by the recording of $3.7 million in net tax benefit related to various federal, foreign, and state uncertain tax positions.  Indefinitely reinvested earnings taxed at foreign statutory rates less than our domestic tax rate also had the impact of reducing the effective tax rate.
	Other
	The determination of the company’s provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The company’s provision for income taxes reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various U.S. federal and state, as well as foreign, jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits or valuation allowances, and the company’s change in the mix of earnings from these taxing jurisdictions all affect the overall effective tax rate.

	12.  ACQUISITIONS
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, in the aggregate, the company paid cash of $1.3 million for acquisitions made during fiscal 2014.  Acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to the consolidated financial statements.
	Certain acquisitions involve contingent consideration typically payable over periods up to five years only in the event that certain operating results are attained.  As of September 28, 2013, aggregate contingent consideration amounts outstanding relating to acquisitions were $106.5  million, of which $25.3 million could result in the recording of additional goodwill when paid and $71.6 million was recorded as earnout liabilities as of September 28, 2013.

	13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Legal Proceedings
	Sysco is engaged in various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated.  The likelihood of loss for these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible to probable.  When probable, the losses have been accrued.  Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the company.  However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if the company failed to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses were to exceed the company’s current estimates of the range of potential losses, the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
	Sysco was made aware of certain alleged violations of California law relating to its use of drop sites in the delivery of products.  Sysco is cooperating fully with the investigation being conducted by authorities in California, but could be subject to fines and injunctive relief.  Discussions with authorities in California are ongoing and Sysco’s financial exposure cannot be estimated at this time.
	Fuel Commitments
	Sysco routinely enters into forward purchase commitments for a portion of its projected diesel fuel requirements.  As of September 28, 2013, outstanding forward diesel fuel purchase commitments totaled approximately $187.4 million at a fixed price through November 2014.
	Other Commitments
	Sysco has committed to aggregate product purchases for resale in order to benefit from a centralized approach to purchasing.  A majority of these agreements expire within one year;  however, certain agreements have terms through fiscal 2018.  These agreements commit the company to a minimum volume at various pricing terms, including fixed pricing, variable pricing or a combination thereof.  Minimum amounts committed to as of September 28, 2013 totaled approximately $3,032.4 million.

	14.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The company has aggregated its operating companies into a number of segments, of which only Broadline and SYGMA are reportable segments as defined in the accounting literature related to disclosures about segments of an enterprise.  The Broadline reportable segment is an aggregation of the company’s U.S., Canadian, Caribbean and European Broadline segments.  Broadline operating companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of non-food products to both traditional and chain restaurant customers, hospitals, schools, hotels, industrial caterers and other venues where foodservice products are served.  These companies also provide custom-cut meat operations.  SYGMA operating companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of non-food products to certain chain restaurant customer locations.  "Other" financial information is attributable to the company's other operating segments, including the company's specialty produce and lodging industry segments, a company that distributes specialty imported products,   a company that distributes to international customers and the company’s Sysco Ventures platform, a suite of technology solutions that help support the business needs of Sysco’s customers.
	The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those disclosed by Sysco for its consolidated financial statements.  Intersegment sales represent specialty produce and imported specialty products distributed by the Broadline and SYGMA operating companies. Management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments based on its respective operating income results.  Corporate expenses and adjustments generally include all expenses of the corporate office and Sysco’s shared service center.  These also include all share-based compensation costs and expenses related to the company’s Business Transformation Project.
	The following tables set forth certain financial information for Sysco’s business segments:

	On January 19, 2011, the wholly-owned U.S. Broadline subsidiaries of Sysco Corporation entered into full and unconditional guarantees of all outstanding senior notes and debentures of Sysco Corporation.   Borrowings under the company’s revolving credit facility supporting the company’s U.S. and Canadian commercial paper programs are also covered under these guarantees.  As of September 28, 2013, Sysco had a total of $3,054.0 million in senior notes, debentures and commercial paper outstanding that was covered by these guarantees.  All subsidiary guarantors are 100%-owned by the parent company, all guarantees are full and unconditional and all guarantees are joint and several, except that the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor with respect to a series of senior notes or debentures may be released under certain customary circumstances.  If we exercise our defeasance option with respect to the senior notes or debentures of any series, then any subsidiary guarantor effectively will be released with respect to that series.  Further, each subsidiary guarantee will remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of the date, if any, on which (1) the applicable subsidiary guarantor shall consolidate with or merge into Sysco Corporation or any successor of Sysco Corporation and (2) Sysco Corporation or any successor of Sysco Corporation consolidates with or merges into the applicable subsidiary guarantor.
